Overview
Highlights
- The Rogue River is nothing like anything else in the United States. Here, you can raft whitewater rapids, paint a wilderness river, and stay in a comfortable lodge each evening! ROW Adventures is one of few outfitters able to provide these Rogue River lodge-based trips due to our relationships with the exclusive lodges along the Rogue River.
- The Rogue River is one of the most famous rivers in the American West and, for good reason. Flowing from Oregon’s Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, our Rogue River rafting/painting trips take place on the most scenic section flowing through the heart of the Rogue River Wilderness. Fun, intermediate rapids, warm water and a green-forested canyon make the Rogue River the perfect natural setting for artists. ROW Adventures’ Rogue River plein-aire trips are particularly unique because each night you stay at a remote riverside lodge where you enjoy your own room with comfortable beds and private bathroom.
- During the day, you raft through the Rogue River's splashy rapids and, in the quiet pools between, watch for deer, black bear, river otters and a variety of birds that make this canyon their home. Like all great plein-aire adventure trips, there's plenty of variety along the way including walks to historic homesteads and superb hiking trails. Few rivers offer such a magical blend of inspiration suitable for all skill levels.
