Klamath

Do not boat the Klamath River through K’íka·c’é·ki Canyon or the Iron Gate reach May 29–June 7, 2026.

The Shasta Indian Nation’s Salmon Calling Ceremony will take place during this period, and boaters are asked to stay off these reaches entirely—including those traveling from upriver on multi-day trips.

If floating downstream, plan to take out at Access 1 or (last resort) K’utárawáx·u and re-enter at Iron Gate River Access, requiring a downstream shuttle.

During this time, K’utárawáx·u River Access will be closed as a put-in for K’íka·c’é·ki Canyon, though take-outs are permitted. Note that the access road to K’utárawáx·u will be closed, requiring a ~1/4-mile uphill carry to the county road. K’účasčas (Fall Creek) River Access will be closed to all use. Iron Gate River Access will remain open.

Honoring this closure is important to provide privacy for the ceremony and maintain respectful relationships with the Shasta Indian Nation, to whom this riverside land is being returned.
