Summary

[edit]
Description

Where are the falls? Klamath Falls was originally callled Linkville (for the Link River). In 1893, the name was changed to Klamath Falls, referring to this less than exciting set of Grade 2 rapids. To make matters worse, in 1921 they built a dam across the river. Now the rapids are only visible for a few months a year, when water flow is high. Talk about hubris.
