Discover Klamath Falls

Klamath Falls offers a range of options for a trip: museums and historic Main Street offer a glimpse into the past, while the Moore Mountain Trail System and the Link River Trail provide outdoor activities. The Ross Ragland Theater adds live performances and film screenings to the mix. When planning, it’s worth considering the differences between the places and trails: the museums focus on different aspects of history, while the trails can be compared by activity options and route profiles. This lets you focus on culture, exercise, or observing nature.

History at the Museum and Downtown

The Klamath County Museum is the main history museum for Klamath County and the surrounding region. The Baldwin Hotel Museum features 40 rooms furnished with antiques and artifacts. The two museums offer different perspectives: the County Museum focuses on the history of the county and its surroundings, while the furnished rooms define the profile of the Baldwin Hotel Museum. You can also explore historic Main Street in Klamath Falls as part of a historic downtown experience. When choosing a historical focus, you can distinguish between a regional museum perspective, furnished rooms, and a historic experience on Main Street.

Trails and Scenery

The Moore Mountain Trail System is suitable for walking, mountain biking, hiking, and trail running. The terrain is varied and the vegetation diverse. From there, you can enjoy views of the Link River Canyon, Lake Ewauna, Upper Klamath Lake, and Mt. Scott. This offers several ways to get active alongside specific scenic features: walking, hiking, and trail running are activities on foot, while mountain biking is another option. Your choice may depend on the activity you want, as well as the terrain, vegetation, and views.

The Link River Trail is an easy, 3-mile out-and-back trail. It follows the Link River through a scenic canyon connecting Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna. Along the trail, you can spot numerous bird species, river otters, deer, and turtles, as well as many plant species. In addition to the river and canyon scenery, there are opportunities to observe wildlife and plants.

Comparing the trails helps answer different planning questions: the Link River Trail is described by its easy rating, length, and out-and-back format; the Moore Mountain Trail System stands out for its four activities, varied terrain, and diverse views. One profile describes a specific route, while the other describes a trail system with several ways to get active.

Live Performances and Films

The historic Ross Ragland Theater hosts live performances; film screenings are also part of the program. This venue adds stage and film offerings to the museums and Main Street. The programs vary. If you plan to attend a performance or see a film on specific travel dates, check the schedule beforehand.
