Aside from its small size, a key identifying characteristic is a continuous dark stripe from the front shoulders, up to and across the eyes, and through the nose. These frogs have a vast color range from green, tan, brown, gray, reddish, and cream, but most often are green or brown. Contrary to the tree frog's common name, it is mostly a ground-dweller, living in tall vegetation near water, but occasionally is found climbing on trees. Large toe pads allow it to climb easily, and cling to branches, twigs, and grass. ![]() NPS Learn more about their life history and conservation. ![]() NPS ![]() NPS ![]() NPS ![]() US Fish & Wildlife Service ![]() US Fish & Wildlife Service Crater Lake Amphibian Species ListUse the dropdown menu below to select the Crater Lake National Park amphibian species checklist.
