About the klamath river
The Klamath River runs for 257 miles through southern Oregon and northern California, originating in the Cascade Range and emptying into the Pacific Ocean. It has a long history of use by Native American tribes, and later became a hub for the logging and fishing industries. The river's hydrology has been greatly altered by the construction of several dams, including the Iron Gate Dam and Copco Dam, which have impacted salmon populations and water quality. The Klamath Basin also supports agricultural activities, with irrigation districts drawing water from the river to irrigate crops such as alfalfa and potatoes. Recreational activities such as fishing, rafting, and camping are popular along the river.
