Gauge Information
River Description
Bigwater rapids, warm water and minimal hazards are the trademarks of the "Lower Klamath". Most
rapids are class II wavetrains with a few larger rapids thrown in to spice things up. The
exception is class IV "Dragon's Tooth" which loves to flip rafts but doesn't have too much of a
hazard/ Year round flows make the Klamath a popular option for summer boating, offering a variety
of day trips or multi-day car or river support trips. Although Highway 96 follows the river, it is
often out of view and the scenery is very nice. Wildlife is common with Eagle and Osprey sightings
being common, as well as Black Bear and Elk.
Seventeen miles below Happy Camp, Ukonom Creek is a popular side hike with lush vegetation and a
beautiful waterfall.
