I was considering doing a float from Weitchpec to the lower Klamath in pontoons but I couldn't get anyone to get fired up enough to go with me. It would be an epic adventure,not sure what the deal would be camping up there.
I don't think that anyone cares if you camp on the Klamath below Weichpec on a gravel bar. I've done it without any trouble. If you do go, keep a clean camp, there are more than a few bears in the area. I was told by one of the locals that they relocate the Yosemite trouble makers to the lower Klamath area. Might be true, we had one try to break into our truck at Pecwan. The other thing is, once you get past Johnson's there is a lot of flat water. A jet boat makes short work of it, a pontoon or drift boat not so much.

Tahoe Joe is there any hairy water down there I should know about?
Ralph -
Park boundary to the Missouri I think. I read a short report from someone who did it. 550 miles or something like that. You need a raft at the top but after that a canoe is the way to go. There are towns close to the river for resupply. Fly fishing for catfish is supposed to be good.
Dude, that is not so simple, just like Ralph told you above, you are allowed to camp on any public land, for as long as you want. As soon as it is a private land, the situation is totally different. I have had a problem a couple of years ago, when I was camping with my sons, and we actually entered some private area, however we did not even know that it is a private area, as there was no sign of it. I got a pretty hefty fine after that, besides all that I lost my head light and my older son broke his hand. Freaking great weekend.
