The Wood River Wetlands Tour
Watch all the Birds at these Wetlands!
Did you know that 3/4 of the birds on the Pacific Flyway stop in the Klamath Basin and the Wood River Wetlands is the place to view them birds! Pelicans, Herons, Egrets, Grebes, Wood Ducks, Pelicans, Ospreys, Eagles, Seagulls, Comarants, Swallows, and a whole bunch more are some that you may see. Along with the birds you may also see Beavers, Marmots, River Otters and other wildlife. This place has such an awesome variety of wildlife! A favorite spot, for sure!
This float is one of our easiest and perfect for the beginner with little or no kayaking experiance. We start out at Petric Park and go through the wetlands to the Wood River, we float down stream to Agency Lake where we meander across back to another finger of the Wood then back through the wetlands to the launch ramp.
