The Lower Klamath River in California gently winds through scenic splendor in the northwest corner of this state near the Oregon border. One of the first rivers in California to be granted National "Wild and Scenic" river status, the Klamath River runs free for 180 miles to the Pacific Ocean. The Klamath is treasured for its scenic beauty, diverse wildlife and recreational opportunities. The Lower Klamath section of this California river is a special place, often adored by O.A.R.S.’ littlest guests. The Klamath's water bubbles with bouncy, easy rapids and warm, pleasant swimming holes ideal for young children and families on an adventure vacation in California. The focus of this rafting experience on the Lower Klamath is helping kids gain confidence and interest in the outdoors while the adults kick back and relax. As is true for so many other California rivers, the Lower Klamath region is steeped in history. Gold miners and colorful characters flooded the region in the mid 1800’s and old mining sites line the river in various places. Your kids will get completely absorbed trying to find their fortune with a gold pan and you’ll have fun watching them try.

2 testimonials about this trip

  1. Reviewer: R. Wild located in Briarcliff Manor, NY USA
    Our family wanted to express our thanks and big pats on the back to all our river guides for a super trip on the Lower Klamath. We had a ball! Everyone was warm and friendly, making sure all of the families' needs were met. It was the small things (fresh brewed coffee and yogurts ready at 7:00 a.m. for the early risers) and the big things (handling food allergies and discussing safety all the time) that made the trip work. We loved the scenery and having the choice between rafts and inflatable kayaks. The food was plentiful and appealed to all ages. YUM! We learned about the ospreys, the river and so much more. You exceeded our expectations. We will definitely recommend OARS to our friends and family. If you saw the New York Times article, we did not know we were part of a growing trend: outdoor vacations with kids!
  2. Reviewer: M. Powers located in Palo Alto, CA USA
     I cannot praise the guides enough! They were absolutely amazing! They were so attentive, supportive and downright funny when it came to my children. (And they made sure Mom had a great time, too!) They really went out of their way to teach my sons how to paddle and navigate the river, and learn safety awareness. Because of my complete confidence in them, I was able to truly relax and enjoy myself, too.

    We loved our trip with Oars to Peru and now we only want to do more active vacations. We did like our comfy hotels at the end of the day and the great food but really enjoyed the outdoor aspects. Great Job!
