Klum Landing offers a well-developed public access point to Howard Prairie Lake via Grizzly Creek, featuring a 2-lane boat ramp ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. Located on 156 acres of forested shoreline at 4,550 feet elevation, the landing provides straightforward water access to this 2,000-acre reservoir. The site is managed by Jackson County Parks and is open seasonally (typically May through late October).
The landing includes 30 campsites without hookups, picnic tables, campfire rings, and a restroom/shower building, making it convenient for multi-day paddling trips. A day-use fee applies ($6 per vehicle). For paddlers, Howard Prairie Lake offers calm, scenic water conditions suitable for recreational kayaking and canoeing. Nearby amenities include the Howard Prairie Resort (with marina and fuel services) and Beaver Dam Group Campground for larger parties. The area also provides opportunities for hiking on nearby sections of the Pacific Crest Trail and fishing on the lake.
Before visiting, check current water levels and seasonal conditions through the Bureau of Reclamation website, as lake levels can vary significantly throughout the season.
