Introduction to Whitewater Rafting
A trip down the "Nugget" section of the Rogue River is a gem of a rafting trip. The Rogue River has long been known not only for its boating opportunities, but also for its world-class salmon and steelhead trout spawning runs. While multitudes of fish struggle upstream to reach their final destination, groups of whitewater enthusiasts test themselves on a trip down this section of the Rogue River.
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. A snack and all river gear are included with this trip.
