Fancy a dip in America's deepest lake? You'll have to hurry, as officials have unveiled plans to ban open water swimmers after the summer season.
Swimming in Crater Lake, in south western Oregon, will be banned in 2026 and 2027, and all access to the lake will be cut off as part of a two-year restoration plan. Visitors to Crater Lake National Park will still be able to see the lake from viewpoints along its elevated rim.
