Established in 1916, the park spans over 106,372 acres and offers a unique combination of volcanic landscapes and diverse ecosystems. It's one of the few places on Earth where all four types of volcanoes — shield, composite, cinder cone, and plug dome — can be found. Visitors to the park can explore boiling springs, mud pots, and fumaroles. Lassen Peak, the largest plug dome volcano in the world and the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range, last erupted in 1917, and its presence is a stark reminder of our planet’s dynamic nature.
