The site of the largest dam removal in U.S. history — four Klamath River dams were removed in 2024, reopening 400 miles of salmon habitat for the first time in over a century. The Klamath flows 257 miles from southern Oregon to the Pacific through remote Northern California canyon country. Class I–IV whitewater, world-class steelhead, and one of the most dramatic river restoration stories in American history.
