Klamath Basin

  • Flowing south from Crater Lake National Park and the Gearhart Wilderness, the streams and springs that form Upper and Lower Klamath lakes exit Oregon into California as the Klamath River.
  • Extensive lakes and wetlands along the Sycan, Sprague, Williamson and Wood rivers dominate the basin.
  • Many bald eagles and waterfowl spend the winter in this basin.
  • The dominate economies are irrigated agriculture, ranching, forestry and recreational tourism.
