Klamath Glen, California

Klamath Glen is an unincorporated community in Del Norte County, California.

It is located on the Klamath River 5 miles (8 km) from its mouth,[2] at an elevation of 46 feet (14 m).

Klamath Glen was once a resort community, but was largely destroyed in a 1953 flood.

[3] After further massive floods in 1955 and 1964, a levee was built to protect the town, completed in 1971.

[4] Today, Klamath Glen is an impoverished town on the Yurok Indian Reservation,[5] but is a popular fishing destination; an expansion of Yurok fishing rights in 1978 led to violent conflicts with non-Native fishermen in the so-called Klamath Salmon Wars.
