A lot to celebrate: Whitewater guides talk Klamath dams and dam removal

Since the construction of JC Boyle, whitewater recreation occurs via scheduled releases from the dam. Known colloquially as the “Upper Klamath,” this reach of the river has legendary rapids with big waves and exciting drops. With the dams gone, flows will be much more variable and less predictable, eliminating the reach as a reliable option for guiding businesses.

This episode was recorded on the banks of the Upper Klamath with guides from Indigo Creek Outfitters
