Klamath National Forest

Welcome to the Klamath National Forest!

The Klamath National Forest covers an area of 1,700,000 acres located in Siskiyou County, Northern California and Jackson County, Oregon. The forest comprises some five wilderness areas, Marble Mountain, Russian Wilderness Area, Trinity Alps, Red Buttes Wilderness Area and Siskiyou Wilderness Area.

In the lower elevations, you'll find park-like stands of Ponderosa Pine trees, while in the higher elevations, the Douglas fir, sub-alpine fir and mixed conifer stands beg to be explored.

The forest includes 388 miles of Wild and Scenic Rivers (202 formally designated) Wild and Scenic Rivers, available for rafting, kayaking, swimming and fishing adventures.

With the Klamath, Salmon and Scott Rivers meandering from one end of the Forest to the other, recreationists have found a playground that can meet the desires of all. This beautiful Forest is a haven for campers, hikers, wildlife watchers, hunters, fishermen, mountains bikers, white water enthusiasts and naturalists.

If you are looking for a wilderness experience, we have five Wilderness Areas to help place you in a quieter, more spiritual place. The Marble Mountain, Russian, and Trinity-Alps Wilderness areas are all within the boundaries of the Klamath National Forest. Trailheads are numerous, and hikes range from easy to arduous.
