This law creates Crater Lake National Park in Oregon to protect its volcanic features and wildlife. The park's exact boundaries are shown on an official map kept by the National Park Service. Any land that used to be a national forest is removed from it, and added to the park.

This section creates Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. Its purpose is to preserve unique and ancient volcanic features — including Crater Lake itself — along with important forest, fish, and wildlife resources, for the public's benefit, education, and inspiration. The park's boundary covers all the land, water, and related interests shown on an official map titled "Crater Lake National Park, Oregon," numbered 106-80-001-A and dated March 1981. That map is kept on file at the National Park Service office (part of the Department of the Interior) and is available for anyone to inspect. Any land, water, or interest that falls inside the park's boundary but used to be part of a national forest is taken out of that national forest, and the national forest's own boundary is adjusted to match.
