Once you embark on your Rogue River rafting, kayaking or hiking
trip, you begin to understand what a magical place this is--and why
the Rogue has been protected as a wild and scenic river since 1968.
In fact, the Rogue River was one of the original twelve rivers
designated under the federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.
The Wild Rogue Wilderness Act augments the protection of
this wild and scenic designation.
The pristine Rogue River flows deep into a wooded canyon, a
botanically rich and diverse ecosystem, a true paradise. The canyon
is either wet and lush or arid and sparse, depending on whether
you're looking at a north-facing or south-facing slope. Madrone
trees with red bark peeling from their smooth trunks cluster on the
Rogue's southern exposed banks.
The Rogue River's most coveted rafting and kayaking run is this
wild and scenic stretch beginning at Grave Creek and ending at
Foster Bar. This is a rafting enthusiast's dream, dropping through
a series of spine-tingling rapids separated by quiet, even-flowing
pools. These moments of quiet respite create an ideal setting for
lying back and gazing at the spectacular canyon scenery that slides
past your gliding raft or kayak.
Glancing over to the mossy banks of the mighty Rogue River, you
might likely spy a blue heron spiking a tiny fish for dinner, a
black bear foraging for berries, an eagle keeping a lookout high in
the trees for its next meal, or even a playful family of otters out
to spin and twist in the Rogue's waters…making you laugh out loud
at their antics.
A Rogue River rafting adventure captures it all: history,
folklore, wildlife, and fantastically eroded geologic features. For
many folks, this is the best, most relaxing vacation they have ever
experienced...
