Fishing, boating and romantic vistas! The fishing is great, the boating is fun and uncrowded and the vistas are simply romantic and amazing!

We are not really "river" people, as we don't swim, raft, or inner tube down bodies of water--but we did want to see and hike along the Rogue River--here is what we found: We stayed at a motel in Medford for three nights and drove up Highway (North) 62 out of town, into the Rogue River/Siskiyou National forest. Along the... More

The Rogue River is one of the most beautiful rivers I've seen. The drive is beautiful and worth the trip. Excellent fishing and many spots for fun in the sun.

I like how clean the river looks when it's frozen over but it's even more spectacular to watch it as it melts.

Rogue River is incredible! We did a jet boat tour on the lower Rogue, We saw countless osprey, a bald eagle perched with hungry eyes above a mother wood duck and her ducklings, a pair of mountain goats (though they had collars, so might have been semi-domesticated). The tour itself was a thrill as well...plenty of wet and wild fun!... More

Top spot for water sports enthusiasts....wild and scenic area requires permits for kayak/raft trip, but also know for fishing (Zane Gray), daytrip rafting and kayaking. Jet Boat trips out of Grants Pass or Gold Beach and fun but noisey. Parks for camping or just viewing.

There is so much to see and do: Sightseeing on the upper Rogue(Headwaters, Natural Bridge); kayaking on the middle Rogue (rentals in Shady Cove): jet boat trips in Grants Pass; Wild and scenic (commercial) rafting trips down the lower Rogue, and salmon fishing at Gold Beach on the coast. An entire summers worth of fun for the family.
