California
Pacific Power provides recreation opportunities on the Klamath River at Iron Gate and Copco Reservoirs and at seven public access sites on the river upstream of Copco Reservoir. Our facilities provide river and reservoir fishing, camping, day use and boating opportunities along 19 miles of the river. The recreation facilities begin at the Iron Gate Fish Hatchery, 10 miles east of Interstate 5 and continue upstream to the state line access site managed jointly with the Bureau of Land Management.
Upper Klamath River
Immediately downstream of J.C. Boyle Dam, the Klamath River enters a series of rugged, deep gorges and narrow canyons. In 1994, the section of river between the Boyle powerhouse and California state line was designated a National Wild and Scenic River by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management manages the river in cooperation with the State of Oregon.
Rafting
Fishing
Pacific Power has developed six public fishing access points on Ager-Beswick road along the south side of the Klamath River between the Oregon/California state line and Copco Reservoir. The sites provide public access through private ranch lands to the river. Each access point has a small parking area, comfort station and garbage can.
