Rogue Wilderness Adventures is your gateway to the beautiful and pristine wilderness area in southern Oregon. For over 34 years Rogue Wilderness Adventures has been the leader in adventure travel on Oregon's Rogue River including rafting, fishing and hiking; ½ day to five day adventures.
Novelist Zane Grey felt the draw of this beautiful area; he wrote many of his western books in a cabin which still stands along the Rogue today. The area is steeped in history and lore from Native Americans to recent stories told around the campfire.
The Rogue has famous fun rapids like Rainie Falls, Upper and Lower Black Bar Falls and Blossom Bar that will leave you memories of the sun dancing off of frothing warm water through beautiful rock formations and narrow canyons edged by towering cliffs.
Our adventures will open your eyes to the legendary wildlife viewing the Rogue River canyon. Deer, black bear, river otters, mallard ducks, turtles, bald eagles, and osprey are usually seen during your 34 mile trip from Grave Creek to Foster Bar.
Enjoy your wilderness adventure on the nation's first national Wild and Scenic river. Whitewater rafters are guaranteed an uncrowded, pristine adventure. The Rogue River canyon from Grave Creek to Foster Bar features a historic hiking trail just above the river so hiking to side creeks and hidden swimming pools is easy and the views are spectacular.
The Pacific Northwest Cascade Mountain Range near Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon is where the Rogue River starts its journey to the Pacific Ocean.

Biking, rafting, hiking, paddling, fishing, golfing and bird watching are some of the ways people enjoy Klamath Country. Whether fanatically playing or lazily lounging, there’s a range of ways to experience Klamath Country recreation.
A network of waterways serves the region’s recreation and provides an array of outdoor opportunities. Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon’s largest lake covers 142 square miles and stretches nearly 30 miles.
It’s seasonally popular for duck hunting and fishing for trophy-sized trout and traveled by diners on a reconstructed paddle wheeler and sail boaters. Canoes and sea kayaks travel portions of the Upper Klamath Canoe Trail that meanders through marshes near Rocky Point, and also at the Lake of the Woods, Wood River, Klamath Marsh National Wildlife, Running Y Ranch Resort marshes and Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge.
Crater Lake National Park, America’s deepest and clearest lake, is a place to gaze and marvel from road pullouts along Rim Drive, hike to the lake or take a seasonal boat tour.
Klamath Country's lakes and marshes historically have attracted duck and geese hunters and bird watchers. The Pacific Flyway converges here, with seasonal migrations of 350 bird species, from raptors like bald and golden eagles to grebes, terns, swans, white pelicans and waterfowl.
Hikers have abundant choices. The Pacific Crest Trail follows the Cascades crest near the Lake of the Woods through the Sky Lakes Wilderness Area, Crater Lake National Park, Mt. Thielsen and Diamond Peak wildernesses.
And let’s not forget…..For the golf enthusiasts, Klamath Falls is home to the Arnold Palmer Golf Course, Running Y Ranch. You’ll be amazed at everything Klamath County has to offer!
