About This Access Site
The Old Townsite Boat Ramp on the Klamath River in Klamath, California provides paddlers and boaters easy access to this major West Coast waterway. The Klamath River is a sizeable, free-flowing river that runs 256 miles from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, with an average flow of over 18,000 cubic feet per second.
This boat ramp is located in the small community of Klamath, just off Highway 101. It offers a paved launch area suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small motorized boats. The ramp leads directly into the Klamath River, which in this section flows swiftly at an average of 4.5 feet per second. Paddlers and boaters should be prepared for the river's powerful current and larger waves, especially during high water periods.
The Old Townsite Boat Ramp provides access to the scenic Klamath River and is a good starting point to explore the redwood-lined waterway. Nearby, the Redwood National and State Parks offer additional recreation opportunities for visitors to immerse themselves in the remarkable ancient forests of the Northern California coast.
