## About Little Crater Boating Site

BOAT DOCK HAS BEEN REMOVED FOR THE SEASON.
Paulina Lake is located within the caldera of Newberry Volcano. This collapsed crater or caldera is the result of more than 500,000 years of volcanic activity. This lake relies on rain, snowmelt, and hot springs for water.
This boat ramp is on the east side of Paulina Lake in the center of Little Crater Campground and docks are available.

  ATTENDING EVENTS
  Please read the entire event description before signing up and only sign-up for events within your capabilities. If you RSVP and can't make it...UNRSVP!
  All events have an attendee limit. Attendee limits are determined by the nature of the event and the number of Event Hosts attending an event.
  Events fill-up quickly. Members are encouraged to download the Meetup app to receive notifications for events as soon as they are posted.
  When an event is full (reached its attendee limit), you may be assigned to the Waitlist. If spots open up, members are automatically RSVPed to the event in the order that they joined the Waitlist. Please be patient if you’re on the Waitlist. It's common for the head count to fall as an event gets closer, and most likely you will be RSVPed.
  If you are unable to attend an event, please unRSVP prior to the event. This allows members on the Waitlist to be RSVPed. I don't need a reason or explanation as to WHY you can't attend.
  No shows will be marked as such and after three no shows you will be a “no go.”
  RISKS AND WAIVER
  No activity is without risk. Please read the entire event description before signing up and only sign up for events within your capabilities. PPSG members are responsible for making their own decision on acceptable risks.
  PPSG event hosts are volunteers and not trained professionals. Anyone attending any posted event assumes all personal risk to themselves and releases Paulina Peak Social Group, its Organizers, Event Hosts, and its members from all liability.
