Copco Reservoir is a large, 43-mile long reservoir formed by Copco Dam on the Klamath River. The calm, flat waters of the reservoir make it well-suited for paddling and small motorized boating. Kayakers and canoeists can paddle the shoreline and explore the reservoir's many coves and inlets. The reservoir is also a popular destination for fishing, with trout and bass abundant in its waters.
Nearby, the Pacific Crest Trail and Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument offer opportunities for hiking and other land-based recreation in the beautiful Siskiyou Mountains.
