Water Fun on our Lakes & Rivers
Upper Klamath Lake
Nearly 30 miles long and up to eight miles wide, Upper Klamath Lake is the largest body of freshwater west of the Rockies.The winds can shift on a dime on Klamath Lake keeping the outcome of the Wednesday night yacht club races “up in the air” to the end. Regattas draw sailors from around the world. As shallow as eight feet and as deep as 60 feet in a few isolated spots, the lake is host to windsurfers, sailors, recreational boaters, fishermen and hunters.
A highly nutritious strain of blue green algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) flourishes in the lake. The tiny, single-celled organisms thrive in the warm waters. Packed with an broad array of micronutrients, the algae is harvested by local companies and processed for sale as a food supplement. Clean, blue rivers and a multitude of creeks and springs feed the northern portion of the lake. The crystal clear water around Pelican Bay is home to a vast population of rainbow trout. Fly fishermen from around the globe catch - and release - some of the largest trout on the continent. Resorts on the shores of Pelican Bay attend to the needs of fishermen by offering meals, lodging and guide services. Canoe and kayak trails meander through the marshes and waterways of Pelican Bay, providing an excellent view of waterfowl, otter, mink, deer, and bald eagles.
This pretty little lake has beautiful surroundings and is tucked in the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness. Digit Point Campground is clean, quiet and a perfect point to launch a boat for fishing.

Kokanee may grow anywhere from 10 to 20 inches, and a 10-pound lake trout isn’t rare, and even larger ones in, the 20-pound range, are caught here. Rainbow trout are typically in the 14 to 16 inch range, while large browns will weigh in at up to 12 pounds. There are quite a few whitefish in the lake as well, and they’re often caught incidentally by anglers targeting other species. Limited bank fishing opportunities are found at Crescent Lake, and most angling is done by boat. Key Species: kokanee, lake trout (mackinaw), brown trout, rainbow trout.
