Lovely wetlands surrounded by the Cascade Mountains.

Birding and Sightseeing at the wetlands on Klamath Lake in Klamath Basin.

wetlands in klamath lake at eagle ridge in klamath county, located in the valley east of klamath falls between doak mountain and the cascade mountains of oregon. not far from crater lake located in the klamath basin, number one for birding in the west.

Eagle Ridge is located 17 miles from Klamath Falls on Hwy 140.

To reach the wetlands and park: Drive north and west on Hwy 140 until you see milepost marker 53. Drive .5 mile further
and you'll see the turnoff to the right. Turn, travel about a mile, keeping to the right at the intersection. (Be assured there are signs to
Eagle Ridge, so keep an eye out, as well.) Drive about 100 yards and turn left onto the road for Shoalwater Bay and Eagle Ridge. Continue
along the southern end of the wetland and continue on to the park. For your information, there are many places along the southern wetland to pull off. Many of the photographs in this section were taken along there. Also, as I stated previously, the road is well-maintained until the boat launch. It's not bad after the launch; it's just not good. Don't let that keep you from continuing on. The rest of the photographs were taken along here. :-)
