Raft the Rogue River.
Whitewater rafting is fun for the whole family!

Challenge Nugget & Powerhouse Rapids

We begin our trip on mellow warm-up water, where the rapids start out small and easy. This is a great introduction to rafting and a warm up for beginners leading up to the exciting class III+ Nugget Falls and the class IV grand finale Powerhouse rapid. Both beginners and experienced paddlers find the Rogue River Nugget an exciting and enjoyable ride.

While floating in between rapids make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the abundance of birds such as osprey and blue herons who inhabit the Rogue River. You might even see salmon jumping and struggling to make it up and over Nugget Falls and Powerhouse rapid. The "Nugget" is a great way to spend the day on the river if you don't have a lot of time. Join us for this thrilling "taste test" that will leave you with visions of your next rafting trip swimming in your head.

The "Nugget" trip from pick up to drop off typically takes about 4 to 4.5 hours. We will have you back in plenty of time for an evening play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
