As Crater Lake in Oregon has no inlet or outlet where does the water in it come from?

It is rain and snow melt that has filled Crater Lake, and its depth is pretty much dependent on the weather. As the lake is formed in the caldera of a collapsed volcano, there isn't any way water can "get out" the bottom. The history of Crater Lake suggests that after Mount Mazama (the volcano there) last erupted and then fell in on itself, it took something on the order of a thousand years to fill it up. It takes little imagination to grasp the fact that precipitation across the years will control lake level since, as was pointed out, there is no inlet or outlet. Wikipedia has additional information of this jewel of the Northwest, and a link to their post is provided. You'll find that link below. The pictures alone are worth Surfing on over for. And they're free, like all the material on Wikipedia. Help yourself.
