This is a nice place to take a break while driving on highway 101 or if you're headed down to Klamath Beach. This is a good place to overlook the Klamath River. And it is the location of a memorial to the devastating flood in 1964 when the old town of Klamath was submerged in a reported 15 feet of water. And this is what remains of the bridge that spanned the Klamath River at the time.

A glimpse of history and a memorial to a time of devastation that makes you appreciate the power of Mother Nature. Sixty years after the event you can still see the lines of the highway that once crossed the river. It was a drizzly,rainy morning when we stopped by to see it. Would be lovely to see on a clear day.

Noble relic from the '64 flood. Thank you for saving it. Perfect spot for private moments. Mouth of the Klamath, whale watching, sunsets. No commercial asides. Almost hate to review it so that it stays this still. Pfff...this will destruct 15 seconds after you read it.

A beautiful spot overlooking peaceful Klamath River. I find it hard to imagine such a tragic event happened over fifty years ago. Force of nature makes you think how small we all are. This was our third visit and it was as beautiful as before. I am also fond of the two bears guarding the broken bridge. They are very similar to my college...
