All Upper Klamath River trips are being referred other river experiences. For recommendations on alternatives please contact us. See more details on this change below. The Klamath Dam removal project, which began in 2023, has affected the Upper Klamath River due to the location of the dam removal. We are unable to run whitewater rafting trips on the Upper Klamath River this summer. We are in full support of the Klamath Dam removal project and reviving a river to its natural state. We will continue to provide updates on the project via our blog. For more information, read our Klamath Dam blog series, links below. ——Klamath River Summer 2024 Update:
