On both sides of the central Oregon/California Border are the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges which include Lower Klamath and Tule Lake NWR. Established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, Lower Klamath Refuge is our nation’s first waterfowl refuge. This 46,900 acre Refuge is a varied mix of 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. A marked ten mile auto tour (with photo blinds along the way) gives visitors year round access to great wildlife viewing opportunities. Here wintering waterfowl come by the thousands, including these Tundra Swans:
