Paddling Rotation

Our guests today came from Oregon and Michigan. Everybody got a turn in the inflatable kayaks and took turns running the whitewater in the self propelled dynamic duckies! As Stephanie put it, there is no better way to get down the river than a raft or kayak...Its all good~

The osprey put on a show today, as everyone got to see it dive for a catch just inside Woolridge Canyon. A bald eagle looked on, but the left the osprey to enjoy his prey back at the nest with mate and fledglings...this time!

The water guns were relentless within family groups and there are promises of a return trip. We are sure it is for the whitewater, not for the retaliation of water fights, but you never know! Thank you all for such an enjoyable and happy day on the Rogue.

Animal Whisperers!

Haley and Kelly were self proclaimed animal whisperers today! They saw so much wild life above and along the banks of the mighty Rogue River. River otter were steadily watching them above Ennis Riffle. Turtles, beaver, osprey, bald eagles, and deer were among the other critters that came out to watch the happy paddlers. Then there was Rocky Raccoon, who has diligently been washing her food along the riverside.

Kelly and Haley were paddling inflatable kayaks and looking like experts throughout the day. Lunch was served on the bank with the inflatable kayak used as a table top. Its never the same river twice!

Whitewater Rafting on the Rogue River

Wow! What a day, the sparks were flying in anticipation of the Fourth of July. The temperatures soared to 100+ degrees, the power shooter super soaker squirt guns were well employed and the paddlers today were a fun and fantastic group of folks. We are so lucky here on the Rogue River to meet so many new people from near and far.

Today's trip came from different regions of our neighboring state to the South. Two paddle rafts were filled with enthusiasm and laughter and three inflatable kayaks soared through the biggest waves of the day. Many thanks to Zarina and family for the Powerhouse Paddling, to Chris and family for the Graceful Gliding and to Dan the Man for his Finesse and Flight in all of the whitewater. What a a great day to remember.

Silver and Gold on the Rogue River

New friends and old friends joined up to run the rapids on the Rogue today. Friends from near and far had a great time paddling, water fighting, visiting, viewing the gorgeous Rogue Valley Canyons, and making new memories. Paul, Omar, Julie, Joshua, Bernie, Al and Bernardo had a day full of smiles and laughter. It was a magical trip filled with good will and good times. Thank you to everyone for a terrific day on the water!

Happy Fourth of July, America!

Living the dream in the land of the free and celebrating all of the people who have served our country. Happy Independence Day!

Traveling The West Coast

Long time family friends John, Lorna, Darren and Lonnie were on a two week tour of the west coast. Today's adventure for them was whitewater river rafting. All four switched off in the inflatable kayaks throughout the day. They enjoyed big waves and wild rides. But you wouldn't have known it was there first time in kayaks. They handled the rapids like pros, and each one of them showed their own unique style! To top off a great day, they had teriyaki steaks waiting for them when they got back to their campsite. Thanks for the great fun, it was a pleasure to journey down the Rogue River with all of you.

Enjoying The River Life

We had the Kurtzman family from Maryland and the St. John family from Washington State visit the Rogue River for a nice and easy float trip. The St. John's family enjoyed the paddle raft, while the Kurtzman's were rowed by their guide Tim, and their two kids zipped along in the inflatable kayaks. We were treated to an incredible Osprey dive which resulted in a perfect catch of a baby salmon. Julie and Ryan took on the giant waves in Argo like they had been paddling their whole lives. It was certifiably fun! Thanks for a great time everyone!
