which lake is the deepest in the united states?
crater
the lake is deep at its deepest point, which makes it the deepest lake in the united states, the second-deepest in north america and the ninth-deepest in the world. crater lake is often referred to as the seventh-deepest lake in the world, but this former listing excludes the approximately depth of subglacial lake vostok in antarctica, which resides under nearly of ice, and the recent report of a maximum depth for lake o'higgins/san martin, located on the border of chile and argentina. however, when comparing its average depth of to the average depth of other deep lakes, crater lake becomes the deepest in the western hemisphere and the third-deepest in the world. the impressive average depth of this volcanic lake is due to the nearly symmetrical caldera formed 7,700 years ago during the violent climactic eruptions and subsequent collapse of mount mazama and the relatively moist climate that is typical of the crest of the cascade range.

tally lake is a freshwater lake located in flathead county, montana in the northwestern region of the united states. the lake is about 20 miles west of the town of whitefish. it is a popular lake for recreational activities including fishing, boating, swimming and cliff jumping, and hiking on the surrounding trails, and is notable for its great depth and unusual geology. the lake's surface area is over 1200 acres.the lake is located at roughly 3,500 feet above sea level. it is about 445 feet deep at its deepest point (though some cite its depth as being even greater), making it the second deepest lake in montana and the deepest natural lake. despite its large volume, the lake tends to be warm in late summer because its waters are darkly colored due to high levels of tannins (which are harmless). these cause the lake to absorb and retain more heat than comparatively clearer bodies of water in the region.
