The town of Klamath, at the southern end of Del Norte County, is a favorite getaway for campers, hikers, fishermen and other visitors. Named after the adjacent river, the town at one time was a stopping-off point for steamers out of San Francisco that supplied mines up the river. Today Klamath is known for its diverse recreational opportunities and unique natural beauty. Located in the center of Redwood National and State Parks at the mouth of the mighty Klamath River and less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean, the town has lots of activities available for any outdoor enthusiast. There are services and lodging available with cabins, motels, bed and breakfast inns, a casino/hotel, a hostel and hundreds of campsites. Some amenities include restaurants, a grocery market and a bait and tackle store.
