What might be the best new river trip in the west, the “New Klamath” Three-Day is a remarkable journey on a restored Klamath River. This trip brings together five sections of the Klamath in a way that simply was not possible prior to dam removal. This is the most comprehensive tour available of the restored Klamath River.
Night one is spent at our beautiful river side camp in the middle of Hell’s Corner Canyon. Night two is spent at our private property adjacent to what used to be Copco Reservoir.
You’ll experience Hell’s Corner Canyon, Beswick, Kikacéki Valley, Kikacéki (Ward’s) Canyon, and Iron Gate. You will also float through three different dam sites and reservoirs. There is no better way to experience the worlds largest dam removal restoration project than this trip.

The New Klamath Three Day covers over 32 miles, visits five unique sections of river, three former dam sites, two significant reservoir footprints, and offers the best way to experience the renewed river. There is no other trip that offers such an experience.
