Ferry Point River Access
The 1/2 mile graded gravel road off Hwy 96 to the gravel bar will accommodate self-contained RV's for dispersed camping. There is a gravel road to the water's edge, permanent toilets and ample parking at Ferry Point River Access. In the 1850's this area was a thriving little town with a hotel, dance hall, ferry, store and school. Pack trains came through here from the coast on their way to Scott Valley and Happy Camp.

The Klamath River is a designated Wild and Scenic River. There are numerous rapids, cascades and waterfalls along the river. The difficulty of the rapids changes with the seasons, the water levels and flow rates. Boaters and rafters should research the river thoroughly before attempting to navigate on their own.
