Elliot Creek Boat Launch
Elliot Creek Boat Launch
Elliott Creek River Access provides boat launch access to the Klamath River via an unimproved 4-wheel drive track off Highway 96 near Happy Camp, allowing access to a cobble bar for launching non-motorized boats.
The site offers no amenities (no water, restrooms, or fees) and has sustained flood damage, so high-clearance vehicles are essential.
Paddlers and anglers should note that the Klamath River is a designated Wild and Scenic River with numerous rapids and cascades that vary in difficulty by season and water level—research is recommended before attempting to navigate independently.
