Ukonom Twin Falls
Ukonom Creek is a cold, clear creek that feeds the Klamath River, and was named after a Karuk chief. It’s also known for a pretty twin pair of twenty-five foot falls that are located about thirty miles south of Happy Camp and accessible only by boat. Several river rafting tour guides offer excursions, or you can check with a ranger or your local lodge owner for alternative ways to get there. Hiking the mile here can be a bit rugged from the Klamath river, bring your camera in a dry bag and enjoy the swimming hole once you reach the falls.
