Oregon recreation

A variety of public recreation opportunities are located along the Rogue River, Wallowa River, North Umpqua River, and Link River (Klamath Falls). Our facilities provide river and reservoir fishing, boating, camping and hiking opportunities.

Recreation sites associated with J.C. Boyle Reservoir were closed by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation in 2023. For more information, contact the Klamath River Renewal Corporation. For information on the status of Topsy Campground, contact the Bureau of Land Management.

Safety around dams

Please use caution around dams and waterways. Follow posted notices and watch over children.

Upper Klamath River and Rafting

Immediately downstream of the J.C. Boyle Dam site, the Klamath River enters a series of rugged, deep gorges and narrow canyons. In 1994, the section of river between the J.C. 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. Water releases into the Klamath River are managed by Bureau of Reclamation and made from Keno Dam. To learn about whitewater rafting opportunities in Upper Klamath River please contact the Klamath Falls office of the BLM at 541-883-6916.

Directions to Wallowa Falls Park, formally known as Pacific Park

For Your Information: Our trees are suffering from bark beetle infestation in Wallowa Falls Park and the surrounding forest. You can help give our park trees a fighting chance by avoiding causing injuries to them. Actions that cause injuries would include driving nails into trees, removing bark and compacting the soils near their roots. You can also lend a hand by collecting downed branches from the park to use as kindling (to avoid creating more habitat for beetle development) and being aware of what's living inside the firewood you bring into the park. PacifiCorp and our neighboring landowners thank you for caring about our forests!

Note: The recreation opportunities and facilities at the Wallowa Falls Hydroelectric Project are developed and furnished by PacifiCorp as a public service. They are open to the public and made available for use and enjoyment to all without regard to race, color, religious creed, national origin, or any other status protected under applicable local, state or federal law.
