About White Water Rafting on the Rogue River
Our four-day Rogue River white water rafting trip begins in southern Oregon, just outside of Grants Pass. During your four-day, three-night adventure we will run a variety of both rapids and flat water, all of which are suitable for ages 7 or older, non-swimmers and for families. Our guides will lead you down the river, telling stories, cooking meals and setting up camp along the way. You will experience world-renowned fishing, time with family and friends, and an on-water experience to last a lifetime!
Upgraded Lodging the Last Evening of the Trip
Rafters will spend the last evening in style! This specialty trip includes upgraded accommodations on night three – instead of camping in tents, guests will stay in the Half Moon Bar private lodge. We will relish in the comfortable experience while enjoying exquisite cuisine – prepped by Flying Fish’s Chef Lyf!
