Hogback Mountain or Hogsback Mountain is a small hill Northeast of Klamath Falls, Oregon, United States. Hogback was named because from Klamath Falls, the hill looks similar to the shoulders of a pig.

Access

The majority of Hogback is privately owned, but open to hikers. Fence tampering and ATV use is strictly prohibited due to livestock activities on the mountain and surrounding areas. No hunting or firearms are allowed on the mountain without written permission.

For hiker safety, there is no public access to the mountain during general deer rifle season due to hunter activities.
