Description

Ishi Pishi Falls is a sacred area to the Karuk Tribe, and it is absolutely off-limits to boating and even visitation by non-tribal members. Please respect this and do not paddle, portage, or visit the falls. The falls can be viewed from a distance from a small pullout on Highway 96 that is approximately 300 feet in the upriver direction from the Salmon River Outpost; this is the only place to see the falls. Located at Klamath River mile 66.7.
