Rogue River

The Rogue River is a major waterway in southern Oregon, flowing about 215 miles from the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It traverses diverse landscapes, including forests, rugged canyons, and farmland, supporting a rich variety of wildlife. The river is popular for outdoor recreation like fishing, rafting, and boating, and it offers scenic views and protected areas for conservation. Historically, it was important for Native tribes and later for the logging industry. Today, the Rogue River remains a vital natural resource, balancing ecological health with recreational and economic uses.
