Klamath River, Upper Access

The Upper Klamath River in Siskiyou County offers multiple access points for whitewater paddling and fishing, with the most developed accesses at Keno Dam, Highway 66 Bridge, Spring Island, and Iron Gate Dam.

Key sections include the Class III Keno Run, the advanced Class IV+ Hells Corner Gorge (popular for summer rafting due to consistent peaking flows), and the scenic Wards Canyon reach.

Access improvements and channel restoration are planned as part of dam removal preparations to enhance safety and recreational opportunities year-round.
