Rogue River Hiking Trips The Rogue River National Recreation Trail from Grave Creek to Foster Bar is in the heart of the National Wild and
Scenic Rogue River Canyon. The trail, which was originally built by miners in the early 1900s, offers stunning scenery and an amazing place for hiking. There are 5 historic lodges located along the trail that can only be accessed by foot or raft. Rogue Wilderness Adventures takes hikers on multiple day raft-supported Rogue River hiking trips through this beautiful area, making for some truly unforgettable trekking. Hikes along the Rogue River Trail are adventures in solitude, offering close encounters with wildlife and enchanting landscapes. Best of all, the hikes are “raft-supported”, so all hikers need to carry is their camera, water, and binoculars. The rest of the gear (and any weary hikers) are transported downriver via raft. Hikers explore the stunning terrain by day and by night bed down in cozy historic lodges after a hearty home cooked meal. 4, 6, and 8 day trips available. Dates available May, June, September, and October.

Rogue River Fishing Trips Deep in the Siskiyou Mountain Range lies some of the best fishing in the lower 48 states. The
Wild & Scenic Rogue River is home to Chinook salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead and the famous Rogue River "Half-Pounders". Rogue River fishing trips are a captivating experience that offers both solitude and beauty and the seasoned guides at Rogue Wilderness Adventures are experts in a variety of Salmon fishing techniques: fly fishing, spin casting, bait bouncing, and pulling plugs. All fishing rods and tackle as well as bait and flies are furnished by the guides. The McKenzie-style drift boats are truly the "Rolls Royce" of river craft. Passengers relax in the comfort of bucket-type seats with back rests. Guides sit in the back where they can give instruction and watch the rod tips for that first bite. Fishing guides double as chefs and are experts in the art of riverbank cooking and as the daylight fades, anglers arrive at a welcoming and comfortable wilderness lodge. In order to provide individualized instruction, there is one guide per boat, and each boat holds only two fishermen. 1, 3, and 4 day fishing trips are offered as well as corporate fishing expeditions.
