Klamath - Klamath Overlook

Requa Drive
Klamath, California 95548
Del Norte County

Approaching 700 feet above sea level, the Klamath Overlook is a popular whale watching spot and is also the trailhead for a couple of great trails.  The views from the overlook are incredible so bring your camera and/or binoculars.  The overlook offers a unique perspective where you can see the freshwater from the Klamath River meets the salt water of the Pacific Ocean and is a great place for a picnic or to just relax and enjoy the wonderful smell of the sea. 
How to get there:
Take Requa Drive from Highway 101 and follow it up the hill to the overlook.  It's just over 2 miles from the highway to the parking lot.  Requa Drive is about 3 miles north of Klamath.
