Klamath River reopens after historic dam removal
For more than a century, a canyon along the Klamath River — its riverbanks and striking rock formations — was closed to the public, seen only by a few. But now, for the first time in generations, rafts once again glide through its waters. … For decades, reservoirs drew people to live and recreate along the Klamath. Now, the river and its new surroundings are being rediscovered in a different way. … With the dams and diversion pipes gone, water now flows freely through the canyon, revealing its distinctive geology — visible now to anyone with a paddle.
