Recreational Activities
SO
MUCH TO DO & SEE Want to kick back and relax under shady
pines by a sparkling lake? Looking for
a "base camp" for a day of
hiking, rock climbing, boating, fishing,
or swimming? Want to just get out of
the house
for the day for a nice picnic in the
great outdoors? If so, the Klamath National
Forest can offer you that and more!
Offering nearly one million acres for your enjoyment, relaxation,
and exploration, you can experience the solitude of the wilderness
or enjoy camping near others in developed campgrounds. Camp in densely
forested woodlands or open meadows, discover secluded flats along
river banks and enjoy panoramic views of majestic mountains.
A continuing goal of the Klamath National
Forest is to make these recreational
opportunities accessible to persons with
disabilities.
FOREST RULES FOR VISITORS
As a visitor to the National Forests, you are asked
to follow certain rules designed to protect the Forests and the
natural environment, to ensure the health and safety of visitors,
and to promote pleasant and rewarding outdoor recreation experiences
for all visitors.
HELP US PROTECT YOUR FORESTS
Please preserve and protect your National Forests. To do this,
try to leave natural areas the way you find them, by practicing
"Leave
No Trace" conservation ethics. Do not carve, chop, cut and damage
any live trees. They have done nothing to deserve this treatment,
and damaged trees cheapen the natural experience for others. Try
to leave your camp or picnic site a little cleaner than you found
it; the next visitor will thank you.
There are campgrounds on the Klamath National Forest that use
the Pack it In, Pack it Out program for dealing with waste. This
means that garbage cans are not provided. Campers are asked to bring
their own garbage bags and take their garbage with them when leaving
the campsite. While this seems like an inconvenience, the funds
saved are used to provide additional recreational facilities. Do
not bury litter; forest animals can smell it and will dig it up.
