Klamath National Forest

Klamath National Forest, established on May 6, 1905, spans far northern California across the Klamath Mountains and Cascade Range, with a small extension into southern Oregon. Covering 1,737,774 acres, it is one of the region’s larger public forest landscapes and includes both natural and cultural sites such as Kangaroo Lake and the Sawyers Bar Catholic Church. The forest is known for extensive conifer woodlands and substantial old-growth stands, with about 168,000 acres remaining, as well as several protected wilderness areas. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, it also became a major center of timber conflicts and environmental activism in the Klamath-Siskiyou region.
