Beginning its 200 mile journey to the Pacific Ocean high in Oregon's Cascade Range, the Rogue River offers a plethora of whitewater boating opportunities. One of our most favorite stretches of the Rogue is a section simply known as "Nugget". Known to both rafters and anglers this popular day stretch offers rapids rating from Class 1-4. This section of the Rogue can be rafted in around 2 hours and is a great taste of whitewater.

Whitewater kayaking expeditions on the Lower Owyhee River in Southeastern Oregon.

The Owyhee River

Located in Southeastern Oregon's "Outback", the Owyhee River is known to many as Oregon's "Grand Canyon" and also "The Loneliest River in America". Snaking its way north from the Northern Nevada desert it makes its way across lonely grasslands and desert landscape on its way to join the Snake River. The Owyhee offers multi day rafting and kayaking for beginners and more experienced boaters, hot springs, hiking opportunities, and solitude. The Owyhee is a great get away from it all in a place rarely experienced by many.
