| 説明 | Jenny Creek Wild and Scenic River flows through Fredenburg Meadow on a chilly autumn morning, Oct. 23, 2019, by Greg Shine, BLM.Located inside and adjacent to the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument and the Soda Mountain Wilderness, Jenny Creek is a tributary to the Klamath River of southwestern Oregon.Jenny Creek flows through an area of exceptionally high biodiversity, and its watershed represents the geographic intersection of the High Cascade, Cascade Foothills and Klamath Mountain ecoregions. The lands surrounding the creek possess a rich cultural history and a long tradition of human use. A section of the historic Applegate Trail passing though the designated river corridor was added as part of the California National Historic Trail in 1992. The creek's fishery and historic values were described by the BLM in its eligibility study dating back to the early 1990s. Today, Jenny Creek offers a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, camping, hiking and kayaking. Know Before You Go:•Use caution when exploring along the creek; there are rock outcrops, slippery rocks, steep canyons, waterfalls, and cold, swift water during the winter and spring.•Rattlesnakes and ticks are common in the warmer months.•Access is along remote unpaved road systems that may be snow covered in winter. •Southern portions of Jenny Creek are within the Soda Mountain Wilderness and are only accessible by foot or horse.•Be aware of and respect private property in the area.•Collect and remove any trash or waste; there is no garbage or toilet facility in the area.Factoids:Popular day-use recreational activities include dispersed camping, hiking, swimming and fishing. Jenny Creek contains redband trout and an endemic sucker, the Jenny Creek Sucker. Fall Creek contains redband trout. There is evidence of past wildfires in the area, including 2014’s Oregon Gulch Fire, which burned east of Jenny Creek and south of Hwy 66.Location:Travel East from Ashland, Oregon, or West from Klamath Falls, Oregon on Hwy 66. Turn South on Copco Road to access lower portions of Jenny Creek and Fall Creek. Several unmarked spur roads lead west to the wilderness boundary, past which you must hike short but steep pitches to the creek. Alternatively, turn north on Jenny Creek Road, approximately one mile east of Copco Road, and proceed north to access upper portions of Jenny Creek. Visitors are encouraged to consult a map, as there are numerous unmarked junctions.
