Rogue River in Oregon

Oregon Trips vs. Other Vacations

The Rogue River trip is operated by ROW Adventures, our partner in the Idaho/Oregon region. Since 1979, ROW has poured "our heart and soul into creating adventure travel experiences that enrich lives and exceed guest expectations. The result is a loyal following of ROW adventurers who trust us with their vacation dreams time and time again."

On top of the exceptional service, river rafting and food, the Rogue River trip offers:

  • Itinerary is designed to visit many different points of interest, taking advantage of rock art sites, pioneer homesteads, and natural wonders in the river canyon.
  • Your trip is enriched by knowledgeable guides who share the canyon's cultural and natural history. We specifically train our guides in this area and most are Certified Interpretive Guides through the National Association for Interpretation.
  • Lodge to Lodge itinerary on the Rogue River provides a very welcome and unique rafting experience.
  • Complimentary wetsuits & wetsuit booties provided early and late season.
  • Your choice of river craft - we do our best to bring the type of river craft best-suited to the group including oar rafts, paddle rafts, and inflatable kayaks (affectionately called 'Daring Duckies'). Smaller oar rafts help to maximize the excitement of rapids.

A Typical Day on the River

The Rogue River in Oregon is designated "Wild & Scenic" so there will be plenty of wildlife sightings in a typical day. The Rogue River has “pool and drop” characteristics. This means there's a long pool of calm water followed by a rapid. Not long after launching we run several playful rapids that give a fun, roller coaster ride a taste of what's to come.

Around 4:00pm we arrive with plenty of free time for hiking, fishing, reading or just relaxing. Hors d’oeuvres are served at each lodge and dinner is served family style around 7:00. The Oregon sky darkens and the first shimmering stars appear as conversations fade into the evening.

We awake around 7:00am and enjoy fresh-brewed coffee. Breakfast is served and you pack up your personal gear. The rafts are loaded and we depart around 9:30 for an adventure-packed day of rapids, magnificent scenery and fun.

This was a great trip both on the water and off - great fun and confident guides who were helpful, knowledgeable and creative in their efforts to make this a memorable experience for all.
