Klamath Falls (pop: 19,500) is the county seat of Klamath County, Oregon. It was founded in 1867. Timber harvesting through the use of railroad was extensive in Klamath County for the first few decades of the 20th century. With the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railway in 1909, Klamath Falls grew quickly from a few hundred to several thousand. Dozens of lumber mills cut fir and pine lumber, and the industry flourished until the late 1980s when the Northern Spotted Owl and other endangered species were driving forces in changing western forest policy.
Klamath Falls is home to many outdoor winter and summer activities. Nearby facilities include: Klamath Falls is located on the Pacific Flyway, and large numbers of waterfowl and raptors are seen at all times of the year. A large number of Bald Eagles winter in Bear Valley, just 10 miles west of Klamath Falls, and the American White Pelican shows in great numbers in summer. It includes shallow freshwater marshes, open water, grassy uplands, and croplands that are intensively managed to provide feeding, resting, nesting, and brood rearing habitat for waterfowl and other water birds.
