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:

This whitewater adventure begins at the JC Boyle Dam put in, in Southern Oregon with 5+ miles of Class 3 rapids to warm up on before tackling the more challenging rapids! The Class 4 rapids begin with the gradient change and you enter into the steep canyon walls. The rapids are long and the water is big. We enjoy lunch on the river before crossing back into California at mile 11. 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.
