Clear lake was formed about 3000 years ago when the Army Corps
of Volcanos caused a river of lava to flow from Sand Mountain
blocking the McKenzie River. The trees in the new lake bottom
are still there, as the processes of decay don't operate at
the temperatures of this lake. Also, the lake is very clear,
so you can still see the bottom.
Portions of this lava are still around.
