Klamath Hills Recreation Area

Klamath Hills Recreation Area is a unique and peaceful trail just outside of Klamath Falls for viewing birds, including eagles, quail and chukars, and various wildlife species, including mule deer, pronghorn antelope, squirrels, jackrabbits, and coyotes. The open, mountain big sagebrush habitat is intermixed with western juniper and provides scenic views of Mount Shasta further up the trail.

Know Before You Go:

  • Open year-round for day-use only. Open from sunrise to sunset; hours vary depending on season.
  • No water or restrooms are available.
  • No camping.
  • Visitors are asked to respect the private property boundaries surrounding the area and avoid areas that indicate “Restoration in Progress.”
