Rogue River Float Guide:  America's Great Outdoors

The Rogue River begins near Crater Lake and flows 215 miles through the mountains and valleys of southwest Oregon emptying into the Pacific Ocean at the town of Gold Beach.  Rushing from the Cascade Range, the river glides into the Rogue Valley floor, drifting peacefully past cities and towns and agricultural lands.  The Wild and Scenic Rive designation begins west of the city of Grants Pass where the Applegate River flows into the Rogue River.  The river turns north, flowing through the scenic Hellgate Canyon, and then bends sharply west at Grave Creek, where the Wild Section of the Rogue River begins.  Here the powerful river cuts through the rugged terrain of the northern edge of the Klamath Mountains.  The river churns through the steep rock walls of Mule Creek Canyon and the boulder-strewn Blossom Bar Rapids before slowing in Huggins Canyon and Clayhill Stillwater.  Below the town of Agness, the Rogue and Illinois Rivers join and flow through picturesque Copper Canyon.  Below Copper Canyon, the river widens and slows, with the Wild and Scenic designation ending where Lobster Creek enters the Rogue River.
