About this lake
The Dave Champagne Canoe Trail is a family-friendly, self-guided paddle on Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge in the Klamath Basin, near Tulelake.

The refuge supplies all the gear. Stop at the refuge visitor center for a map, life jacket and paddles, then drive to the trail and choose a canoe or kayak. Boats are limited, so call ahead. The trail is open May through October, depending on weather.
Also at the refuge
The Discovery Marsh Trail is a level one-mile loop with a paved, wheelchair-accessible first 1,000 feet, and the Sheepy Ridge Trail climbs to an overlook 200 feet above the visitor center.
