River Maps - Floating the Klamath River

back to River Center homepage

 

We've broken the topographical map (courtesy of National Geographic) of the Middle Klamath River into sections to make your trip plans easier.  Rafting the entire length of this 105 mile section of river could take as much as two weeks when considering layover days, water flows, weather conditions and season of year. The river maps are not broken into segments that can be floated in one day, some segments may take two days or more to complete.

You'll find a variety of rapids along the route as well as quiet water, swimming holes, beaches and campgrounds.  The maps listed in the table below are ordered from the eastern forest boundary heading west with the flow of the river.
