White Water Wilderness Rafting
We guarantee you will enjoy our three day,
two night white water wilderness rafting trips. They have
proven to be a hit for the entire family, groups of friends
and corporate outings.
Rafting the Rogue is both as adventurous as it is rewardingly
beautiful. The rivers class II, III, and IV white water are
well reputed as being among the nations best. Yet the rafting
is only part of the enjoyment. The Rogue River offers a
special wilderness experience that is truly first rate.
We raft the Rogue during the months of July and August. At
this time of year you can count on warm weather, temperatures
range from the mid 80's to the mid 90's. Rogue River water
levels are favorable for rafting making the class II, III, and
IV white water exciting and safe. Don't worry, if the weather
is too warm the Rogue River temperature is perfect for
swimming. The Rogue River is a drop-pool river, so after every
rapid there is a pool to rest before the next surge of
excitement.
Your Rogue River trip begins at Graves Creek and ends 3 days,
2 nights and 43 miles later after numerous memorable
adventures at Foster Bar. Our trips take you through the 40
miles of federally preserved wild and scenic Rogue River
Canyon.
In 1976 the Rogue River was entered into an act of congress
called "the wild and scenic rivers act of 1968" this act was
aimed at protecting and preserving the present state of the
Rogue River and since then there has been no building or
development. To protect against crowding the Rogue River can
only be accessed by obtaining a permit. These laws have
allowed the Rogue River to remain unchanged with it's scenic
beauty undiminished.
You will see all kinds of birds from osprey fishing for their
evening meal to bald eagles perched above watching over all.
There is also abundant animal life: turtles, playful otters,
deer and if your are lucky you may even see a black bear come
down to the water of Rogue River. There are numerous side
hikes, swimming in a creek where gold miners once panned for
gold or try panning for yourself. Walk up to Zane Gray's cabin
(the author of Rogue River Feud and other western novels),
visit the historical Rogue River Ranch Museum or slide down a
natural water slide into a placid pool.
Sit back, relax and be guided down the Rogue River or
challenge the white water rapids in a self-bailing inflatable
kayak or participate in our paddle rafts, which are becoming
one of our most popular activities. The guides will host you
to a tasty lunch that is prepared right along the river bank.
The breakfasts and dinners provided by the lodges are second
to none.
On our Rogue River raft trips you have three choices of
overnight accommodations. We offer a double lodge trip. There
are a couple of beautiful rustic lodges tastefully located in
the wild and scenic Rogue canyon. These lodges offer first
class accommodations with beautiful grounds, comfortable
cabins, and excellent meals. Our favorite Rogue River raft
trip is our deluxe camp
lodge combo. On this trip we spend our
first night at our deluxe camp. We provide the gear and do all
the preparation, your job is to relax, enjoy and you will
enjoy our first class camp cooked meals, prepared by your
guides. The second night is spent at a beautiful rustic lodge.
Your third option is our Rogue double camp trip; as the name
implies we spend both nights’ camping along the beautiful
Rogue River.
Rogue River Outfitters is a second generation family owned and
operated outfitting business. We take great pride in all our
Rogue trips. All of our guides are full time and have many
years experience boating the Rogue River and other Oregon,
Washington, California rivers. Our equipment is the best on
the market and it is professionally maintained.
