Hot Summer Days

The temperatures on the Rogue River are reaching over 100 degrees these days. This is not unusual for Southern Oregon as we have our own little micro climate here! The best way to enjoy the heat of the day is to spend it on the river or in the river! Here are a couple of our recent favorites keeping cool on a hot day.

Rogue River Rafting with Ben!

Ben came to Oregon from Illinois and brought his family along to enjoy some whitewater rafting. These folks were a blast! Ben decided to ride 'the bull'.


Where did Ben go?


Oops, there he is...sort of!


There were miles of smiles with this wonderful family on the Rogue River. Come back soon!

Oregon Rafting on the Rogue River


How many shades of green can you see? This is Oregon Rafting on the Rogue River! Everyday our guests identify a new shade or name for green: willow green, river rock green, sage wisp green, green heron green, glorious green, wet green, wild green and so many more! Come on out for some Oregon Rafting and Go Green!

Rogue River Rafting Half Day Trip

What a amazing sight! This gorgeous bird soared above our heads and graced us with her beauty from wing tip to wing tip. This is an osprey and there is a healthy population of this fish-diving hawk on the Rogue River. We see them dive straight into the water at speeds up to 30 miles per hour to grab a fish that can weigh as much as 2 times the body weight of the osprey!


There is a lot of fishing going on as the adult birds are preparing the fledglings for flight. It won't be long before the young ones leave the nest. In the meantime, we will take advantage of the airshow!

Family Rafting on the Rogue River

What a special day to have all of the river babies and river mamas and papas out on the water. We ran a fun, easy section of the Rogue for the very youngest rafters to enjoy the ride on the water. What a beautiful day!

Here is River Mama, Jolene and Anna, age 3!
