Says Douglas Bourcy The Keno Dam to JC Boyle Reservoir section of Klamath River in Klamath County is 5.5 miles long and has been rated as a class III section by American Whitewater. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Oregon you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The wonderful Klamath County scenery and the cool fresh water have people coming here. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit   away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Keno Dam to JC Boyle Reservoir stretch is just one of them. The put-in location is a short drive from Klamath Falls, as you can see on the road map further down. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you won't find many other paddling places. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will make you glad you came. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
