There’s an incredible sunken forest under the waters of Clear Lake in Oregon, America!

Do you know that there is a beautiful lake in America’s Oregon's Willamette National Forest which hides a unique surprise underneath its waters? Well yes, you read that right! The magical wonder hiding in Oregon's Clear Lake is a sunken forest!

The lake was created some 3000 years ago after volcanic lava flowed from Sand Mountain. It gave birth to a natural dam that was gradually filled with water. Later, the water filled up the forests and gradually the forest sank.
The ground of the lake is also filled with thick and white volcanic silt which looks fascinating. There are some shipwrecks too which are centuries old. If you ever dive here, be prepared to be transported in a world unknown and extraordinary!

A number of divers visit here just to experience the interesting underwater scenery. Rowboats and kayaks are also available here on rent for those who don't wish to stop inside the cold water of the lake. These can be rented the same day upon arrival.

Visitors can also discover the beauty of the Clear Lake Loop Trail and McKenzie River National Recreation Trail. These trails take people through regions of lava and old forests.

A perfect place for those looking for an offbeat holiday idea!
