Trivia

  • Klamath is often confused with Klamath Falls, Oregon.
  • Klamath is located within the Yurok Indian Reservation.
  • Salmon fishing was a major component of the local economy. As of late, fish stocks are in decline due to political feuds with upstream agribusiness water users in the Klamath Falls area.
  • Klamath has a 35-foot (10-meter) statue of Babe the Blue Ox, the legendary sidekick of Paul Bunyan, a famous mythical lumberjack at Trees of Mystery. On 20 November 2007, the head of the statue fell off. The head has since been repaired.[12]
  • Klamath was on the center line of the annular solar eclipse path as it entered North America on Sunday, May 20, 2012. This was the first central land entry on the West Coast. Weather permitting, this location in the USA was best suited to viewing this event because it occurred earlier in the day than further east, and the sun appeared to be higher in the sky. See Solar eclipse of May 20, 2012.
