Call ahead to arrange a tour. Ours was about 2 hours, and the guide was fantastic. We didn't get into the rehab area, where birds are being nurtured back to health and freedom. We got to see the "ambassador" birds (plus one possum and one turtle) up (very) close. We got to meet and learn about several owls, some falcons, a bunch of eagles and some hawks. I even came to appreciate turkey vultures! This is very much worth your time -- and money. There is no fee for the tour, but we made a donation equal to what we'd expect to pay at a place like this. I encourage you, too, to donate. Oh. Check their Facebook page, too.

Hidden gem. We stumbled in looking for a break from the heat. Including the geological, archeological and anthropological history of the area, this museum presents local history in an interesting and engaging way. Don’t miss the fractured quilt or the enormous oil paining of the crucifixion hidden away in a side hallway! Definite steal for $5.
3. Baldwin Hotel Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 42 reviews
The Baldwin Hotel Museum is open during the summer months, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. The building has changed very little since it opened in 1906. All four floors of the former hotel feature rooms filled with artifacts of Klamath history. Examples include a kitchen, laundry room, children's room, music, parlor, cafeteria, doctors's office, lawyer's office, school room and much more. There is no elevator, and so the building presents a number of barriers to people with impaired mobility.

We took the two hour tour and Melinda was our guide. She was a delight. So much knowledge and love of the place and all its wonderful stories. Every one of the four floors has a different feel and a different set of wonders. If you can do only one museum stop in Klamath, make this the one.

A wonderful experience, stolling in the gorgeous forest and catching a great view of a beautiful fawn along the trail! Klamath Lake is one of the prettiest places with awesome views in the area- thanks Moore Park

What a great place to take the kids in the summer. Walk along the rearing ponds and buy fish food there to feed the big fish.
6. Link River Trail
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 46 reviews
The Link River Trail runs 1.5 miles through the Link River Canyon, a scenic gorge located in the heart of Klamath Falls. The trail (actually a service road for power facilities on the river) is closed to vehicle traffic. Gravel surface. Excellent birding. South trailhead behind the Favell Museum on West Main. North trailhead is on Lakeshore Drive. See the modest falls for which town was named.
