UPPER KLAMATH RIVER 2-DAY RAFTING TRIP | CLASS IV HELLS CORNER

This whitewater adventure begins in Southern Oregon with 5+ miles of Class 3 rapids to warm up on before tackling the more challenging rapids! The 2 day trip allows us to slow our pace and take more time scouting the big and long Class 4 rapids. We typically camp at Stateline just after crossing back into Northern California. On the 2nd day, after a hearty breakfast at camp, we shuttle upstream several miles to re-run the most challenging Class 4’s. On the remaining stretch after the border, the canyon opens up and the river mellows allowing for voluntary swims. We typically take out at Fishing Access 6 above Copco Lake. The shuttles to/from Weed are a bit long, and we will provide refreshments after the rafting trip.

Pre-requisits for this Upper Klamath River raft trip:

  • Previous Class 3 paddling experience
  • Strong swimming skills
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS
  • Class IV Caldera – 100+ yards
  • Class IV Hells Corner –  600+ yards!! We typically stop at Frain Ranch to scout this rapid.
  • Many other Class 4 rapids include Satan’s Gate, Ambush, Snag Island, as well as other Class 3’s like Bermuda Triangle and Branding Iron.
  • 4 meals beginning with a delicious riverside lunch on day 1
  • A skilled guide in every raft ready to provide a safe and fun outdoor adventure
  • PFD (personal flotation device) and helmet for each participant
  • Shuttle to/from our meeting location in Weed, CA
