California’s newly undammed river just opened for visitors: 5 tips for heading to the Klamath
With the removal of four dams on the Klamath River, Californians now have a new place to kayak, raft, fish and explore. In the footprints of century-old reservoirs in a remote area near the Oregon border is a fresh 45-mile stretch of restored river that flows freely through a varied landscape of striking basalt canyons, evergreen forests and grassy valleys. There’s palpable excitement in witnessing the river corridor come back to life, and opportunities abound for world-class whitewater paddling and steelhead fishing. … Friday marks the opening of five newly installed recreation sites along the Upper Klamath – three in California and two in Oregon. There’s been limited access since May but the sites are fully open as of Aug. 1.
