reads 1,150 to 1,400cfs it's good...darn good! It can still be surfed at 1,050 but it's quite a bit
smaller and weaker. No need to do the run, you can drive right to the wave if you have a high
clearance vehicle. Not that the run isn't worth doing a time or two, but that's about it. Me? I
just park at the wave. To find the wave or the put-in for the run; head east out of Keno, cross the
Klamath, Take the second left past the bridge, Puckett Way, then make the next left, Riveredge Rd.
Follow Riveredge for a mile or so to Old Wagon Rd. were you'll make a left. From here to the wave a
high clearance vehicle may be necessary. (Keno Reservoir will be to your left) At all intersections
stay to the left , the road dead ends just above the wave. If you plan on doing the run put-in
below the dam. For those with passenger cars, you can reach the south bank just above Keno dam by
driving into the Keno Recreation site provided by PP&L, it's just west of downtown Keno to your
right if headed west on Hi-way 66. The water quality here is not for the faint of heart, that being
said this part of the Klamath sports some of the biggest rainbow trout I have ever seen.
