The park affords great opportunities to hike, camp, fish, swim and picnic. On the day I took this photo there were three people doing SCUBA diving training in the lake. “The park is the site of a 400-foot 120 m volcano in the Boring Lava Field where a magma-induced steam explosion 105,000 years ago made a large bean-shaped crater, a maar, which later filled with water, forming a crater lake. The lake was the site of a resort dating from the 1920s when a consortium of businessmen planned an upgrade that would include the addition of a dance hall, `swimming tanks,` and amusements plus a power plant and electric lights. From 1964 to 1968, the resort was operated by Virgil Dollar, a member of the family for whom the nearby intersection of Dollars Corner was named. The state initiated acquisition of the site in 1965, with purchase for US $550,000 approved in 1966. At a meeting in 1970, the State Parks and Recreation Commission determined that `Battle Ground` should be spelled as two words in deference to the spelling of the nearby city.” Wikipedia
