Description

This access is located at Highway 96 mile 30.1. This Forest Service-managed site is reached via a short gravel road that descends to river level. Though the road has potholes, a carefully driven passenger car can navigate it. There is a toilet and dispersed camping is available. The site has ample parking. River access requires a short carry across the gravel and sandbar. More info at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/klamath/recreation/ferry-point-river-access.

 

Ferry Point is temporarily closed each year during Karuk ceremonies. During these times, boaters should also not float past Wingate Bar, even if launching upriver at a different access site. Dates vary annually but are usually in July or August. See the guidelines in this run's river description above and check the alerts section of the Klamath National Forest website for current closure information: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r05/klamath/alerts.
