BEST RAFTING IN THE WEST!
In the middle of the summer when most rivers in the west are low or have dried up, the Upper Klamath has plenty of water, because of scheduled water releases from John C. Boyle dam.
THE RAPIDS
Our Upper Klamath trips begin in Oregon and ends in California. The trip starts with 5 miles of easy whitewater. This allows for plenty of time to practice paddling before the "big rapids". Once you enter the heart of the Upper Klamath canyon you will be greeted by a face full of water! Caldera, Branding Iron, Satan’s Gate, and Hell’s Corner are some rapids that greet you with a good soaking! Experience the Upper Klamath and see why it is such a popular rafting trip!
"To the entire crew of Kokopelli. We would like to thank you for a wonderful time on the river last Sunday. The professionalism of your employees, made for a safe yet exciting experience for my entire family."

Upper Klamath
The Klamath River, starts its journey towards the Pacific Ocean, beginning in Southern Oregon and ending in Northern California. It is located in a remote canyon listed as a "Wild and Scenic River". Wildlife is plentiful in the canyon. You may be greeted by bald eagles, osprey, deer and even wild turkeys on your trip. During the month of August our guides love to stop at "Blackberry Riffle" with their guests to do some fresh blackberry picking. This is always the highlight of any Upper Klamath trip!
SAFETY FIRST
Safety is our number one priority at Kokopelli River Guides. We never run single boat trips on the Upper Klamath and we mandate that they all include a safety boat. All of our professional guides are at a minimum Advanced First Aid/CPR certified and are certified in Swiftwater Rescue. Many of our guides are Wilderness First Responders, EMTs, or Paramedics. Because this trip can be strenuous, we also require that you be in good physical condition and at least 13 years old to participate.
