| Description |
Beginning in Oregon's high desert interior, the Klamath cuts through the Cascades and the Klamath Mountains before entering the Pacific Ocean in northern California. This river is one of only three rivers that bisect the Cascade Mountain Range. This creates a wide diversity of habitats supporting an abundance of fish and wildlife. Designated Reach: September 22, 1994. From the J.C. Boyle Powerhouse to the California-Oregon border. The Klamath River is in Klamath County 25 miles to the southwest of Klamath Falls in south-central Oregon. Classification/Mileage: Scenic — 11.0 miles; Total — 11.0 miles. Due to an abundance of food and a mild climate, the Klamath River Basin was and is an important location for at least three Native American tribes. The Klamath is recognized as an outstanding whitewater boating river with many class III to IV+ rapids, and warm water and a long boating season. The abundance of resources, such as a unique rainbow trout subspecies, spectacular scenery, Native American cultural sites and gold rush era historical sites, combine to provide the setting for a spectacular and profound river experience. Historic ranches along the river offer a glimpse into the challenges facing early settlers. One of few access points to the river is actually part of an historic stagecoach route serving the Klamath Basin and northern California. The livery station serving the stagecoach is still there! Just below the California border, an abandoned log flume speaks to one of the early uses of the river by Europeans. There are at least 40 prehistoric sites in the canyon, including camps and burial grounds, offering important opportunities to learn about the past. Several Native American tribes' use of the river has earned it the distinction of being eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as an Archaeological District. Opportunities to fish, hunt and simply view the abundant wildlife are available year-round! There are many camping sites and easy hikes to view the unique resources of the river.
