Klamath Falls is a beautiful town for retirement in south central Oregon, east of Medford and Ashland. The population is about 21,000 people. Nearby Upper Klamath Lake is the largest natural lake in the Pacific Northwest. Crater Lake is about 30 miles to the north, it is the only National Park in Oregon. Klamath Falls is a great town for outdoor recreation and birding. Although great for outdoors, the town does not seem to be prospering as well as other towns in the state.
