The Wild and Scenic Rogue River: The Heart of
Rogue River Country
The Rogue river is a national treasure. From
its headwaters near Crater Lake to its mouth on the Pacific coast at Gold Beach
this waterway is beyond compare. Idyllic riverside forests, isolated and jagged
canyons, towering mountains all around, and a rich history render a river that
everyone finds a marvel.
Perhaps the heart of the Rogue river is its 30
mile long or so portion known as the Wild and Scenic section. Located in the
heart of the rugged Siskiyou mountains, in a region that famous western
explorer Jedidiah Smith labeled as more challenging and dramatic than the
Rockies and Sierra Nevada, the Rogue river offers amazing scenery, peace and
quiet, and unsurpassed recreation opportunities, such as whitewater rafting and
salmon and steelhead fishing. In fact, many regard
Rogue
river rafting trips and Rogue river
fishing trips in this section as among the best on earth! As if that
weren't enough, there is a magnificent trail that parallels the river along its
entire Wild and Scenic course. Add to this rustic and historic cabins that
stand inconspicuously in the thick Rogue forest and offer charming overnight
options and you are left with a place of recreation splendor
