The Rogue River is our most popular family rafting adventure. Our 4-day Rogue River rafting trip explores 37 miles of the wilderness section of the Rogue.
Our 4-day Rogue River rafting trip covers 37 miles of breathtaking wilderness, making it a top choice for families and adventurers alike. Starting at the Galice Resort near Merlin, Oregon, the trip begins with a morning orientation and packing session before launching into an unforgettable four-day journey. After a few warm-up rapids, the excitement builds with Graves Creek Rapids and Grave Creek Falls. For safety, guests walk around Rainie Falls while guides expertly navigate its technical channels. Be sure to watch for salmon leaping at the falls!
Each day is packed with Rogue River adventures, including whitewater thrills, short hikes to idyllic swimming holes, and plenty of opportunities to relax and soak in the scenery. On the third day, you’ll venture into Mule Creek Canyon, where dramatic currents and stunning landscapes create unforgettable memories. Evenings are spent at scenic riverside camps, perfect for unwinding or exploring. The trip concludes near Agness, Oregon, with a picturesque drive through the rugged Siskiyou Mountains.
What is it like?
Each day starts with freshly brewed coffee, ready between 6:30 and 7:00 am, followed by a hearty breakfast served at 8:00 am. By 9:00 am, the group begins packing up, aiming to hit the river by 10:00 am.
No two days are the same on the Rogue River. Activities are tailored to the group’s interests and can include short hikes to scenic viewpoints, dips in refreshing side creek swimming holes, or visits to historic sites. Guests can also switch between different rafts—relaxing in the comfort of an oar raft, paddling as part of a team, or going solo in an inflatable kayak for a bit of added adventure.
