'Lower Klamath Lake' is a
lake in
Siskiyou County, California, that currently serves to hold overflow water for irrigation. At one time it was connected to
Upper Klamath Lake.
The lake is near California's border with
Oregon and the
Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge (the first American bird sanctuary, established in 1908) that covers the northern part of the lake extends into Oregon as well.
The area around the lake was the home of the
Modoc people prior to European contact.
