Rafting The Rogue River

Rogue River rafting in Oregon is one of the most unique rafting vacations in the world. With legendary American West appeal, stemming from deep roots in river rafting lore, the lodge-to-lodge Rogue River rafting trip delivers a perfect blend of wildlife and wilderness with the cozy charm of cabin comforts like your own room and private bathroom. Family-style meals are enjoyed in each lodge's ample dining space. Enjoy the evening scene and sounds from the deck or lawn area of each remotely situated lodge while rafting the Rogue River in Oregon.

Cascading down the lush Pacific face of snow-capped volcanic peaks, a Rogue River rafting trip in Oregon tumbles toward the coast with the playfulness of the friendly river otters that make their home on the Rogue. Wildlife, such as deer and black bears thrive in this congressionally designated Wild & Scenic River ecosystem. Water temperatures invite you to swim and play, splashing through Class II-IV rapids on your 4-day trip. Lodge to Lodge trips are offered from May through August with Camping trips in September and October. Rafting the Rogue River is a great experience!

We had a wonderful time!

Julie - Washington, USA
My daughter and I were so impressed with the guides and their knowledge of the river/topography of southern Oregon. They were fun, funny and friendly!!! We had a wonderful time as a family and met some amazing new friends!! Thank you! We will be back soon.

Stellar Example of Rafting

Stan - New York, USA
From the time I registered for the trip until well after, I have been greeted with the highest level of professionalism and warmth. My trip was on the Rogue River and it was a stellar example of rafting. We had the advantage of staying in lodges for this trip. The time on the water was very safe and the guides are quite knowledgable about the sights along the way.

Rogue River Rafts

Rogue River Rafts

The Rogue River offers the opportunity to paddle your own inflatable kayak, enjoy the excitement of a paddle raft, or ride aboard a comfortable oar rig piloted by your skilled guides. Take turns throughout the trip to experience each one!

Oar-Rigs are 16', self-bailing rafts piloted by your guide, and, therefore, less "participatory" than other boats. All you have to do is hang on!

Paddle Rafts get you in the action of the rapids as a participant. A skilled guide steers from the back of the raft, but propulsion depends on you. Your guide will give clear orders on how to paddle, so it's easy to learn quickly. Paddle rafts are 14' in length and will hold 4 to 6 guests.

Inflatable Kayaks are exciting, every time! Follow the other boats through each rapid. Steering and propulsion all depend on you with an inflatable kayak! These rafts are 11 - 13' long and carry one or two people.
