Where in the World is Klamath Falls?

Klamath Falls is located on the Upper Klamath Lake in southern Oregon, just north of the California-Oregon border.
The town of Klamath Falls was founded in 1867, but the area had been inhabited by the Klamath and Modoc peoples for at least 4,000 years before the first European settler.
Settlers began arriving in the Klamath Basin in the 1840s, when a new and safer southern route, called the Applegate Trail, was added to the Oregon Trail. The region further expanded with the discovery of gold in California and the arrival of the railroad in 1909.
Known for its forests and rangeland, logging became the town’s major industry and flourished until the 1980s, when the northern spotted owl and other endangered species changed western forest policy.
This is high desert country, with cold, snowy winters, hot summer days and cool summer nights. Klamath Falls is also known as "Oregon's City of Sunshine" with 300 days of sun per year.
The Klamath Basin is part of the Pacific Flyway - a major north-south route for migratory birds extending from Alaska to Patagonia. Its open water and marsh habitats host migrating waterfowl, sometimes numbering over a million birds. The area also hosts the largest wintering concentration of bald eagles in the lower 48 states.
The Baldwin Hotel and the Klamath County Museum are popular tourist locations in Klamath Falls.
The Upper Klamath Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Oregon - nearly 30 miles long and eight miles wide, with depths of up to 60 feet.
The Running Y Resort is about 7 miles north of Klamath Falls at the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range and covers 3,600 miles of pristine acres. The resort has an award winning Arnold Palmer designed golf course, and offers both home sites and vacation condos.

Hell I know that place lol. I was born there in 1962! I now have 64 acres near chiloquin and I ain't ever leaving!!

The whole area has a lot of beauty, and sometimes it seems it gets overlooked. Thanks for watching.

My family came to the Klamath basin in 1932 from Washington. My grandfather started a lumber mill and Klamath falls in the early 1940s and ran it until 1970s. I love Klamath basin and all surrounding areas, absolutely beautiful. So much to do fish hunt hike camp the list goes on. I really love this video it was great to watch. It's like my grandma used to say Oregon is God's country, she is absolutely right!

Yes, Klamath Falls is an interesting place. Thanks for watching.

I think Bly is SE of Klamath Falls.

Old town 15 blocks of empty buildings. New town, soulless poverty wage WALL STREET BOX stores. Hard time town.

Just our views from a "non-local". K Falls has some lovely scenery and the Running Y is nice. Still don't see much difference in climate & terrain between K Falls and Bend. Always wonder why the towns are so different.

I lived there between 02 and 07 and it was just beautiful!!!! I miss it but my ex told me that it’s not a good place to live anymore but I don’t see how it can’t be 🤔 the scenery was gorgeous and the people were so nice!

[@leeannasloan2292]

@@Sinfulscents maybe the job market. It's hard to get jobs in Klamath falls. I think maybe more people then available jobs..it was like that when I left there in early 2000s and a friend of mine who still lives there said it's no different now then it was 20 years ago.

Hello, I am planning a visit from SFO. Is there a water fall to watch/visit here Or is it just a name of the place?

[@81STAINLESS]

What a great question. We are tourists and not residents, so had to research. The answer is a bit complicated. Just google "Are There Waterfalls in Klamath Falls" and you will find an article by the "Discover Klamath" website that answers your question. Do visit - it is an interesting and scenic (and unappreciated in our opinion) place to visit.

@@81STAINLESS I visited 2 weeks back - a dead town but the Klamath lakes and the drive to Crater lake was really beautiful. And btw, no water falls... misnomer.

It means you live in Gravity Falls

An interesting town, that I believe gets underrated. Hopefully we captured some of its beauty and character.
