Description

Abstract: Water orientated recreation in Klamath County falls into three broad categories: (1) Trout angling in the multitude of mountain lakes, (2) Trout and warm-water angling in the open water at lower elevations, and (3) Waterfowl hunting on the marshlands and adjacent waters of the county. Public access to the mountain lakes is generally adequate with a few exceptions. A few of the larger lakes receive so much pressure from state-wide users that improved ramps and frontage roads would help to relieve crowded conditions. The U.S. Forest Service maintains many extensive campgrounds at the larger lakes and provides trail maintenance to most of the "pack-in" lakes. Reservoirs and lakes at the lower elevations, however, are in many cases surrounded by private ownership or/are utilized almost exclusively for irrigation purposes. In order to provide and maintain a fishery resource in many of these reservoirs a minimum pool will have to be secured in addition to providing boat and bank access. Waterfowl hunting will also be available at many sites where angling access is secured.
