Description
The Upper Klamath’s dark waters, dyed by the natural algae within its waters, plunge through powerful advanced-intermediate rapids. Fed through dam release from Upper Klamath Reservoir, the "Hells Corner stretch of Upper Klamath increases in difficulty along its length, starting slow but quickly crescendoing into advanced whitewater with big holes, large waves and technical rapids.
Rugged, high desert scenery lines the Hells Corner stretch with excellent solitude. The Upper Klamath is boatable year-round and is located 1 ½ hours by car from Ashland, OR. Previous whitewater experience is suggested.
