North and South Twin Lakes (Oregon)
text:
North and South Twin Lakes are two nearly identical natural lakes in Deschutes County, Oregon. Both were formed around 20,000 years ago when a rising magma reservoir reached groundwater, creating violent steam explosions. Two craters were formed, later filling with water. North Twin Lake has an elevation of 4,340 feet (1,320 m),
while South Twin Lake is 6 feet (1.8 m) lower, at 4,334 feet (1,321 m). North is larger, having a surface area of 112 acres (45 ha), compared to South's 99 acres (40 ha)
