Ranch Report

We had the driest December on record since 1975, and the trend continued right up until mid January, now we're finally getting some moisture.  It made for a low river, but very good steelhead fishing both here and on the Salmon River.  Now we're hoping to catch up on our much needed precipitation.  Here on the ranch we're pruning fruit trees, tending to a few winter veggies and preparing for Spring.

Gateway to the Klamath Region


Sandy Bar Ranch offers an inexpensive family vacation destination in one of the West Coast's most unknown vacation spots - the Klamath Region.  From river rafting to swimming, hiking, biking and exploring, you'll find a range of affordable vacation ideas on and around our ranch.  Nestled in a fertile valley carved out by the Klamath River, our riverside, pet friendly cabin rentals come with a full kitchen & linens, private bedroom, bathroom and a deck that looks over the river, and our organic gardens offer fresh seasonal produce, including over a hundred varieties of fruits, berries, flowers and vegetables.

Winter on  the Klamath River, Sandy Bar Ranch

 

We minimize our ecological footprint where we can.  We recycle and compost, a large solar array provides much of our electricity, we conserve water by using drip irrigation and we use no chemicals in our organic gardens and edible landscaping.  Whether you're a solo adventurer looking for peace and quiet or a family looking for an affordable vacation, Sandy Bar Ranch is an out of the way retreat for exploring one of the few remaining wild areas.   

The Klamath Basin encompasses the ancestral territory of four Native American tribes,  including the Karuk Tribe on the Mid Klamath, hosts one of the largest remaining salmon and steelhead runs in the lower 48 states and is a vitally important refuge for many rare plant and animal species.  As co-founders and board members of the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, we envision the diverse communities of the Klamath Basin working together to restore our watershed resources to their historic abundance and function for future generations.  We hope you'll treasure this area as we do.
