Crater Lake

From Smallville Wiki

Crater Lake is a large lake in Burnham Woods that was once filled with meteor fragments. At least two metahumans are known to have received their powers while underwater at Crater Lake.

The lake is apparently now clear of meteorite fragments and has become a popular swimming destination for Smallville residents. The local teens often have parties and cookouts on its shores.

[edit] Appearances

In 2001, Sean Kelvin fell in and gained his metahuman powers. (Cool)

In 2003, Chloe Sullivan referred to a school field trip during which she dropped her keys and Jake Pollen fished them out for her. He was underwater for six minutes, so she added him to her database of people who might have been infected by the meteor rocks. It was later confirmed that he had gills (although the source of his powers was never revealed). (Extinction)

Clark Kent dreamed of skinny dipping there with Lana Lang and they later made a date to go swimming. (Slumber)

Arthur Curry made his first appearance at Crater Lake. He saved Lois Lane when she hit her head while diving. He also teamed up with Clark to dismantle LuthorCorp's Leviathan project, which was killing the wildlife in the lake. (Aqua)

Linda Lake gained the power to morph into water when her news van crashed into the lake during the second meteor shower. (Hydro)

Worth noting is the mountainous terrain visible in most scenes at Crater Lake. This is perhaps the most apparent indication within the show that it is not filmed in Kansas.
