 Upper Klamath Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Upper Klamath Lake (sometimes called Klamath Lake) is a large, shallow freshwater lake east of the Cascade Range in south central Oregon in the United States.
Prior to the 20th century the lake was surrounded by widespread marshes which were largely drained for cultivated land.
In the 20th century, the augmentation of nutrients by agricultural runoff in the surrounding farming valley have caused the lake to become hypereutrophic resulting in blue-green algae blooms over the lake (largely Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) The algae blooms turn the water an opaque green in the summer and afford little recreational use on the lake.

Low flows in the Klamath River have created a severe problem for salmon, killing 30,000 fish (including endangered coho) in the fall of 2002, and a series of hydroelectric dams block them from coming up the river to many of their historic spawning streams in Oregon.
