In 2024, dams were removed from the Klamath River, opening up miles of spectacular whitewater.
The New Klamath: New trips, new sections of river, and a new reason to visit this renewed river.
THE “NEW KLAMATH”
DEBUTING SPRING OF 2025
With dam removal complete and after a year of standing by in anticipation, we are excited to once again offer trips on the Upper Klamath. Prior to dam removal, Indigo Creek only offered full-day trips on the Hell’s Corner section. With access to new stretches of river and a renewed Hell’s Corner, in 2025 we are offering three unique and amazing trips.
But first, how did we get here? In short, whitewater recreation was mandated by FERC to be included in the scope of the project. In collaboration with our friends at American Whitewater, other outfitters, and our combined efforts to advocate for recreation – today outfitters and the public have the opportunity to explore the “New Klamath.” Read our historical account of what happened during the largest dam removal project in history.
RESPECTFUL, PROFESSIONAL, & PASSIONATE GUIDES
Operating trips on the “New Klamath” is something that we are proud to offer in 2025. The Klamath has been through a lot in the past 100 years, and we are honored to be a part of its rediscovery after dam removal. As a visitor to these places, we are committed to honoring the wishes of the various tribes that call the Klamath home. As we continue to explore and learn more about these beautiful lands and waters, we will always do so with an eye toward the history and stories of those who were here long before us. Our guides will be knowledgable of the area and eager to share these stories. We can’t wait to celebrate the New Klamath with you.
Our “New Klamath” trips highlight sections of the Klamath River that were most impacted by dam removal. Experienced guides will share these remarkable places with you, guiding you through extraordinary whitewater, historical sites, renewed valleys, and beautiful canyons – all while narrating the story of the Klamath River and the largest dam removal in United States history.
