Plane

Klamath Falls International Airport is the closest airport, about an hour away by car.  Medford, Oregon is another option, with more flights than Klamath Falls, but is a 2 hour drive away. Flights into Reno, Nevada may be less expensive, but it is almost 4 hours from Reno to the park by car.

Car

From the I-5 corridor, take U.S. 97 north at Weed to a right turn on California Hwy. 161, also known as Stateline Road, as shown by large signs. Travel east on CA 161 through the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge to Hill Road. Turn right on Hill Road at the Westside Market, following monument signs. Travel south on Hill Road 10 miles until you enter Lava Beds National Monument.

From the Klamath Falls area, take Oregon Hwy. 39 south approximately 20 miles until it enters the town of Merrill, OR. Approximately one mile south of Merrill, turn right (south) on Malone Road. Travel south on Malone Road approximately 2 miles until you reach Stateline Road 161. Turn left (east) and then take the immediate right at Westside Market onto Hill Road.

For those traveling east on California Hwy. 299 from the Redding or Lassen National Volcanic Park areas, turn north at Bieber on Hackamore / Lookout Road to California Hwy. 139. Travel north on CA 139 until meeting directional signs that will direct you to the monument at a left turn. NOTE: This south entrance into the park is paved, but in very poor repair.
