Rogue River Rafting - 3, 4 or 5 Days
Rogue River Rafting in Oregon - Overview
White water rafting on the Rogue River is the ideal start to an all encompassing Oregon adventure vacation. This 3 to 5 day rafting journey down the 40 miles of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon, takes you through the storied Siskiyou Mountains, explored for centuries by Indians, trappers and gold prospectors. What’s more, the warm, gently surging waters of the Rogue River combine with "one-of-a-kind" rapids, which provide just enough Oregon whitewater rafting excitement - without an “extreme” element. Rapids such as Blossom Bar and Rainey Falls are sure to inspire a generous dose of adrenaline interspersed with lots of calm Rogue River float time in between them. For the more adventurous, our inflatable kayaks provide an up-close and personal encounter with the rapids of the Rogue.
The Rogue River winds its way through one of the most beautiful pine-forested canyons in North America and gained federal “Wild and Scenic” wilderness designation in 1968. This O.A.R.S. rafting adventure vacation shows off the Rogue River’s best as it flows from its headwaters high in the Cascades near Crater Lake National Park towards the incomparable Oregon coast through the Rogue River National Forest. A great family rafting tour that works perfectly into trips to the state’s untouched ocean beaches and nearby national parks.
