Mount St. Helens Coldwater Lake Weather Cam

This webcam is perched on the Science and Learning Center at Coldwater's exterior overlooking Coldwater Lake, with South Coldwater Ridge, Johnston Ridge, and the Toutle River in view. The camera sits at about 3,100' (945m) elevation and faces to the south-southeast. From this vantage point the crater left behind from the May 18th, 1980 eruption is about 7 miles (11km) away as the raven flies.

Watch this live feed from the Mount St. Helens Institute to observe the dramatic landscape surrounding Coldwater Lake in real time. The camera captures the recovering ecosystem and geological formations in this volcanic region, offering views of the crater, ridge lines, and river valley that shaped the landscape after the cataclysmic 1980 eruption. It's an excellent window into one of North America's most significant volcanic sites and the ongoing recovery of this unique environment.
