National Wildlife Refuge Klamath Marsh is located in southern Oregon and covers over 40,000 acres of wetlands, meadows, and forests. It was established in 1958 to provide habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife.
Visitors to the refuge can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The area is home to a diverse range of wildlife including bald eagles, sandhill cranes, and otters.
One of the main points of interest at the refuge is the Klamath Marsh Observation Deck, which overlooks the marsh and provides a great viewing spot for waterfowl and other birds. There are also several hiking trails that offer visitors the chance to explore the diverse habitats of the refuge.
Interesting facts about the refuge include that it is home to one of the largest heron rookeries in Oregon, and it was once used as a hunting ground by the Klamath and Modoc tribes.
The best time to visit the refuge is during the spring and fall when migratory birds are passing through. However, visitors can enjoy the area year-round with different wildlife and scenery in each season.
