Klamath Sportsman's Park
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Topsy Recreation Area, Pacific Power, Keno |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This park offers an occasionally groomed but fairly dry MX track with sharp lips, big doubles, and long table tops. What sets this area apart is the 4x4 obstacle course in the woods which includes a wall-to-wall tire section, a pair of see-saws, and a long rock pile. The park also offers archery and pistol ranges, a rifle range, sporting clays, model aircraft runway, and a 4x4 drag strip.
The camping area across the street has a few more trails, and some swimming, fishing, and water skiing opportunities. This is a small park, with just the motocross track, and handful of short trails, but tackling the obstacle course in the cool evening shade made us smile, and kept us amused for at least an hour.
