Klamath Lake - Crystal Creek Trip
Two things make this trip a joy: very protected water, and the amount of wildlife that can be seen. Less experienced kayakers will appreciate the many miles of narrow, meandering creek channel without noticeable current. More gung-ho paddlers will enjoy taking it easy and reveling in the sights and sounds of the area. The springs that form Crystal Creek flow from the ground at or near lake level, yet generate enough current to open a passageway through the bullrushes, cattails, and pond lilies of the marsh. This freshwater marsh is so important as bird habitat that it has been set aside as the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge.
