Rafting through the Wild and Scenic sections of Oregon’s Rogue River offers an unforgettable journey down a pristine, federally protected waterway—one of the original eight designated under the 1968 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act—where the river carves a remote, rugged canyon through the Siskiyou Mountains. Over roughly 40 miles from Grave Creek to Foster Bar, paddlers navigate thrilling Class III rapids with a few Class IV challenges, including iconic drops like Rainie Falls, the swirling narrows of Mule Creek Canyon, and the technical boulder garden of Blossom Bar, all amid emerald waters, steep forested walls, and abundant wildlife such as black bears, river otters, eagles, and spawning salmon.
