Mount Scott, Volcanic summit in Crater Lake National Park, United States.

Mount Scott is a small stratovolcano and parasitic cone on the southeast flank of Crater Lake, about 420,000 years old. Its summit, 8,934 feet (2,723 m), is the highest point in Crater Lake National Park. A small fire lookout tower stands at the top, reached by a 2.5-mile trail with many switchbacks that climbs about 1,479 feet from Rim Drive.

The peak was named after Levi Scott, an Oregon pioneer who founded the settlement of Scottsburg during westward expansion. This naming honored his role in settling the region.

The name honours Levi Scott, the Oregon pioneer who founded Scottsburg; the volcano itself sits on the flank of Mount Mazama. Hikers today pass the zigzag trail and the fire lookout on the summit, landmarks tied to the mountain's long use as a vantage point over Crater Lake.

The single trail starts on Rim Drive at 7,683 feet (2,342 m) and climbs about 1,479 feet (451 m) over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of switchbacks to the summit at 8,934 feet (2,723 m). The route ends at the fire lookout tower. From the top, Crater Lake, Mount Thielsen, Mount Shasta and Upper Klamath Lake are visible.

Mount Scott survived the massive eruption of Mount Mazama around 5700 BC because it lay far from the main flanks; the blast formed Crater Lake but left this cone standing. Its lower slopes are covered with ash, pumice and loose gravel, while the summit is mostly scoria.
