Waldo Lake (Oregon, USA): View from the North End
Waldo Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Oregon. Its surface area is 9.8 square miles and maximum depth 420 feet.
There is no regular inlet and thus no source of nutrients for water plants. Thus the water is extremely pure and transparent, even to depths of over 100 feet. Motorized boats are permitted only if they are electric-powered and travel less than 10 mph. Because of the great purity of the water, on a satellite map it is difficult to tell the difference between the rocks on the land and those under water. That makes it difficult as well to place the node point of the camera in the panoramic software.
