Rock Creek

Rock Creek flows out of the Siskiyou Wilderness Area and enters the Klamath on river right here. The multilevel beach formed with perfect skipping stones is a popular lunch stop and overnight camp. Highway 96 is away from the river here and the setting is superb.

The water of Rock Creek is cool, clear, and clean. As refreshing as it is, please avoid the area around the creek mouth from June through September as salmon and other fish use this area to survive the warm waters of the Klamath River. Distrubing the fish forces them to swim into the Klamath where the water is sometimes lethally warm. The good news is that there are amazing swimming holes up the creek a short distance.
