Top Ashland On the Water

Discover the magic of the Rogue River in the early evening, when crowds fade and the canyon takes on a tranquil rhythm. As twilight descends, wildlife re-emerges, the wind calms, and the canyon’s light transforms into a stunning spectacle. This moment feels like a secret among true river enthusiasts. We begin our adventure by loading into a raft and heading toward the glowing horizon. Navigate through Hellgate Canyon and witness the breathtaking shift in light as the sun sets behind distant ridges. Approaching Taylor Creek Gorge, the sky becomes a canvas of vibrant hues, creating a memorable evening. We pause to savor this stunning transition while relaxing in comfortable chairs and enjoying a light meal. Breathe in the fresh air, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and let the outside world fade away. As the first stars twinkle above, we float downstream under the enchanting dusk. Join us for the Gold Hours on the Rogue River and create unforgettable memories!

We will be on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River, near the town of Grants Pass, Oregon. This river section is known as the Hellgate Canyon Section, and is brimming with spectacular views, fun water, and wildlife sightings. Your guide will train you on basic paddling and river language before you hit a variety of water along the river, including calm pools, small riffles, and class I-II whitewater rapids. There are ample opportunities to swim, enjoy the scenery, and have fun in splashy whitewater. The river section length is about 10.5 river miles.

Combine river kayaking with whitewater rafting on the Rogue River in this single tour. This is a great option for those who don’t want to commit to a full day of a single activity. Travelers of all skill levels are welcome; all equipment and instruction are provided. The day begins with an easy paddle in a blow up kayak, includes lunch by the river, and finishes with a thrilling rafting adventure over Tilomikh Falls.

Spending a full day on the river independently can be a lot to handle on your own, no matter where you are. A guide leads this full-day Rouge River and Hellgate Canyon rafting tour in Oregon, so you can feel safe as you raft. Choose from a total of three different raft and kayak options, and get a thorough orientation before you go. A riverside lunch is included.
