Hagelstein Park

Hagelstein Park is a Klamath County boat ramp providing access to Upper Klamath Lake, the largest freshwater body west of the Rockies. Located in Klamath Falls just off Highway 97, this five-acre park offers a developed launch facility with restrooms, picnic tables, and drinking water. The ramp provides convenient access for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the expansive lake, which stretches nearly 30 miles long and up to eight miles wide.

The park serves as a popular starting point for paddlers accessing Upper Klamath Lake's extensive waterways, including routes to nearby areas like the Hanks Marsh Unit (approximately 5 miles south by boat). Note that facility status can vary seasonally—check current conditions before visiting, as the ramp and associated amenities are sometimes closed. The developed infrastructure makes this a good option for launch and retrieval, though paddlers should come prepared for the open water conditions typical of this large alpine lake.
