Dormant volcanoes may have their throat blocked with rubble, or maybe a lake. This is always the case with extinct volcanoes.
Yes. There many several lakes that have formed in the calderas of volcanoes. Perhaps the youngest example is Lake Pinatubo in the caldera of the Philippine volcano, Mount Pinatubo, which formed after an eruption in 1991. A rather unusual case is that of Taal Lake, also in the Philippines. Here a lake fills a massive caldera. In that lake the volcano has started to regrow and in turn has a smaller lake in its caldera.
The island in Crater, called Wizard Island was formed by small volcanic eruptions that occurred after the Crater Lake caldera formed but before the volcano went extinct.
