USA Discovery Point, Crater Lake
A excellent view of Wizard Island.
Photography Tips
Summers can be crowded, but there are several other spots around the lake easily accessible from car parks.
The lake is huge, be sure to include foreground when shooting wide angles.
With a good preparation of sunset/sunrise time, you can find a spot that maybe has the sun rise behind something on the other side of the lake.

A parking spot is available. Copied over from the other spot around the rim (thanks Gabi Fulcher)
For GPS: The park has no physical address. The Steel Visitor Center (open year round) is at 42° 53' 48.91"N 122° 08' 03.08"W or you can enter "Crater Lake" as a town or waypoint.
Be prepared for all kind of weather! I was there in september and a snow storm just passed. The whole location is at least 1800m above sea level.
