Local lore has claimed that Theodore Roosevelt signed the legislation creating Crater Lake National Park at the Baldwin Hotel in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and that Roosevelt visited Crater Lake. There is no evidence for these claims and the only Roosevelt to visit Crater Lake was Eleanor Roosevelt in 1934. Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter visited the lake in 1991 and had a trip similar to the average visitor.
