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.
Rafting on the Rogue River in Oregon is unique among multi-day rafting vacations because you will raft from "lodge-to-lodge" each night of your trip as you travel down the river gorge. Each historic lodge has its own rich human history making it part of the charm of a Rogue River rafting vacation in Oregon.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip for our 30th wedding anniversary. This trip delivered beyond our expectations. We cannot wait for our next adventure with Western!
