Klamath

Drive up the river taking photos and features of access sites along the way.

Some photos from a drive down the Klamath River.

The Pacific Chapter of the River Management Society hosted a trip from Curly Jack to Wingate Bar Access following a day of presentations on Klamath Dam removal and restoration of the Klamath River. The trip included river managers from several of the major river systems on the West Coast and partners who have been involved in dam removal.

Blissful, hot Memorial Day weekend trip with Sami and Andy over three days.

With no summer camps or other organized group activities during the summer of 2020 we got a three families together for a week of river exploration including a trip on the Klamath River from Happy Camp down to Stuarts Bar. We had one raft for a group of 12 with 8 people in solo kayaks. We launched the afternoon of Monday July 27th and took off on Thursday July 30th. Flows ranged from 1050 to 1020 cfs over the course of the trip. We were on this section down to Coon Creek for two nights and then did one night on the next section downstream. We did not encounter other groups on the water. Driving back upstream on the weekend we saw several groups on the river for weekend trips. Despite the presence of the road, it was lightly traveled at night and we found this to be a great multi-day trip. The water was warm (almost too warm) and water quality was an issue but we were able to find side tributaries to filter and replenish our water supply.
