About this listen

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 will be a loss for outfitters and recreational users of the
river, but as you’ll hear, dam removal also creates some new opportunities.
This episode was recorded on the banks of the Upper Klamath with guides
from Indigo Creek Outfitters
