Portuguese Creek Boat Ramp

Portuguese Creek Boat Ramp offers free river access to the Klamath River via a gravel ramp to the water's edge, managed by Klamath National Forest with an information board on-site.

The location is situated along Highway 96 near Seiad Valley and accommodates small vehicles and trailers under 20 feet, with nearby camping available at Fort Goff Campground (less than 1 mile downstream).

No potable water, garbage service, or restrooms are available at the ramp itself; boaters should research river conditions thoroughly before launching, as the Klamath River features numerous rapids and cascades with difficulty varying by season and water levels.
