- XMH5+JR Copco - After more than a century, a breathtaking and extraordinary canyon has been revitalized with the removal of the Klamath dams. The Kikacéki Reach of the Klamath River, previously bypassed for hydroelectric purposes, now has its flows restored, revealing a truly spectacular sight.
The journey on the river starts at the former Copco Reservoir and ends at the beginning of the former Iron Gate Reservoir. Witness firsthand the incredible revival of the reservoir footprints, as the river reclaims its natural channel, and experience the thrilling whitewater nestled within the stunning canyon of Kikacéki Reach.
Throughout the trip, stories of the region will be shared – tales of victories, sorrows, and viewpoints – that compose the history of the people, dams, and the removal of dams on the Klamath River. There is no better way to understand the magnitude of the changes to the Klamath River and the historical significance of dam removal than by floating down the river and witnessing it firsthand.
