Old Fort Road Gravity Hill

Klamath Falls, OR

A strange stretch of road, or spot specifically, on Old Fort Road where gravity appears to work in reverse. Pour out water and it runs up hill, cars roll up hill too. While repaving changed the effect somewhat, it still works - particularly at night. There are hundreds of local folklore reasons why it occurs. The event starts roughly 50 yards up the hill (east) from the Old Fort Road gravel quarry on the right, down the hill approx. 3/8 of a mile down from the site of a WWII military medical base at the crest of the hill.

While it is reported that road work in 2019 has killed the effect, my truck succeeded in rolling 'uphill' for a while but stopped before making it to the crest of the hill.
