Rogue River

On this trip down the Rogue River rafters will float through the beautiful Rogue Valley and past lands inhabited for millennia by native tribes. After a brief orientation at the put-in rafters have plenty of time to build the team skills in their raft as the group enjoys smaller whitewater before building into the biggest class IV rapids towards the end. About an hour in the group will arrive at Lineman rapids where each rafting team will try to surf their raft in the small waves. After some fun, “hanging ten” each boat will head towards Nugget Falls, the first class IV cascade of whitewater. This quick plunge ends with a BIG wave and lots of fun. After Nugget Falls the group will keep floating towards the longer and more complicated collection of drops at Ti’lomikh Falls. After this final class IV the takeout is just around the corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Nugget Falls class IV Half-Day Rafting on The Rogue River?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
