wGawgos kčal (Moonshine Falls) River Access

wGawgos kčal (Moonshine Falls) River Access is downstream of the falls on river right. This access opened to the public on August 1, 2025 and include stairs to the river, a raft slide, parking, turnarounds, restrooms, and other amenities. It is accessed via a gravel road off Highway 66, about 1.6 miles west of the Klamath River bridge. It is open as a day-use site, 7 am to 7 pm.

The site is open year-round, but the access road is not maintained in winter and may be impassable or temporarily closed due to weather. Nature ultimately dictates access—please use good judgment and avoid attempting the access road drive in unsafe conditions. When snow makes Moonshine unreachable, the Pioneer Park West River Access on Highway 66 is a reliable alternative and adds a 1.5-mile warm-up to the run.

American Whitewater successfully advocated that this river access facility be constructed as part of the Klamath dam removal project and participated in the design process. It was constructed with support from an Oregon State Marine Board grant.
