The minimum age is 6. River conditions and the specific departure can affect age requirements, so please confirm with us before booking.

No previous rafting experience is required. Your guides provide all equipment, a safety briefing, and instruction. You can ride in an oar boat while a guide rows, join a team paddle boat, or take an inflatable kayak when conditions and ability allow.

The Wild & Scenic Rogue has Class I–IV whitewater, including the well-known Tyee and Blossom Bar rapids, with calm stretches in between for swimming and floating. Guides make every rapid decision based on current conditions and your group.

Professional guides, rafts and inflatable kayaks, life jackets, helmets, paddles, dry bags, all meals from lunch on day one through lunch on the last day, camping gear or lodge stays depending on your trip, and the return shuttle to Morrison's Lodge. Not included: the 5% federal use fee, your personal gear, gratuities, and any lodging before or after the trip.

We meet at Morrison's Rogue River Lodge (8500 Galice Rd, Merlin, OR 97532) at 8:30 a.m. Trips end at Foster Bar, about 6 miles upriver from Agness, around 2:00 p.m. Our included shuttle gets you back to Morrison's Lodge at about 4:30–5:00 p.m.
