Link River

The Link River is a short river in Oregon, United States, that connects Upper Klamath Lake to Lake Ewauna. It flows for about 1.25 miles (2 km) before emerging as the Klamath River. The Klamath River then flows for approximately 250 miles (400 km) through California to the Pacific Ocean. Historically, dams on the Klamath River significantly harmed fish populations, particularly Chinook salmon. However, in 2023-24, four of these dams were removed, marking a major dam removal project in the United States, largely due to efforts by the Yurok Tribe. Lower Klamath Lake, which had been dried up, was restored as a wildlife refuge and for agricultural use.1
