Sandy Bar Ranch

Located in the Karuk Native American Homelands in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California, Sandy Bar Ranch is nestled in a beautiful valley carved out by the Klamath River. Our four riverside redwood cabins are fully equipped with a kitchen/livingroom, bedroom, bathroom and outdoor deck. The small rural town of Orleans encompasses a diverse community of Native American, organic farmers, artisans, Forest Service personnel, restoration and timber workers and local merchants. At the Ranch you'll find a one acre permaculture garden, a fruit tree nursery, and handmade crafts. Ou r cabins are a stone's throw from Sandy Bar's deep swimming hole and sandy beach. You can also explore the many nearby creeks and rivers offering coulntless secluded swimming spots. We are 15 minutes from the Marble Mountain Wilderness. From blue herons to bald eagles, river otter to deer, the Klamath Basin offers a wide variety of wildlife for birdwatchers and animal lovers alike. Sited as an area of global botanical significance, the Klamath Knot is a field day for plant lovers. Throughout the year we offer siminars on topics such as ethnobotany, wildflower and wild mushroom identification, fruit tree pruning and grafting, ecology and watershed management. We are a collaborative enterprise dedicated to stewardship of the land in acknowlegement of future generations who will inherit our legacy.
