Rogue River Trips - 6 days on the Scenic River in Oregon

2010 Dates: June 27- July 2, Sept 4 - Sept 9. (Other dates may be available. Please call.)

Join Wet Planet for a six-day raft-supported kayak expedition down the Rogue River, Oregon's most scenic river. Granted protection under the federal "Wild & Scenic" Act in 1968, this river offers a premium class III Whitewater Kayaking trip which is exceptional for intermediate kayakers. Professionally guided by the excellent Wet Planet instructors, you will learn about river travel and hone your paddling skills as you are traveling down the river each day.

Offering a great progression for skill building, the river increases in difficulty as your journey progresses. With the great combination of easy stretches to perfect the basics and a 35 mile Class III stretch, the Rogue is the best place to learn. Its pool drop style rapids allow pools for recovery to catch your breath (or your paddle!) after most rapids. The river also offers reliable water conditions. As the water level is dam-controlled, the summer water levels are dependable and don't fluctuate daily. The temperature of the water is surprisingly warm for a Northwestern river and summer weather is usually hot and sunny.

During the 6-day expedition, you are not only learning about kayaking, but you will also have the opportunity to learn and appreciate the history of the area. Home to Native Americans, followed by gold miners and settlers, the river was named for the "rogue" tribes that maintained their presence in the canyon until 1856. Protected as a Wild & Scenic River, today the river is a popular vacation spot for locals as well as visitors from all over the world. Kayakers, rafters, hikers, campers and anglers return year after year to experience the wild Rogue River.
Enjoy a kayaking trip with the luxuries of a rafting trip. Oar rafts will transport all personal gear, camping equipment, and food. Non-kayaking friends or family members can come along as rafting guests, although the focus of this trip is kayaking. Included in the trip cost is all transportation to and from the river from Galice OR, all on-river meals, camp chairs, camping equipment (upon request), and waterproof bags for your personal gear.

General Trip Itinerary
Our 6 day Intermediate Kayak Rogue trip starts with 1 day of warming up and refreshing our kayaking skills on the "day section" of the Rogue River before entering the canyon for our five day expedition down the famous Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River.
On the first day of your Trip, your head instructor will meet you at 9 AM in front of the Galice Resort. Look for him or her (wearing either a Wet Planet or a Sundance hat or T-shirt) in the parking lot or inside the store. Come to the meeting point dressed in your river clothes. Be sure to eat a hearty breakfast before your trip. There is a restaurant and small store at the Galice Resort open from 7 AM to 9 PM.
On the River You will usually spend 6 hours a day on the river. Breakfast is served around 8 AM and you are on the water by about 10 AM. There will be a stop at mid-day for lunch and maybe some short hikes.
The teaching progression will have you running appropriate sections of the river with just the right amount of challenge.
After the Trip The trip ends at Foster Bar in the early afternoon. At this time you say good-bye to the instructors (except the head instructor) and board a charter van, which will return you and your gear to Galice, unless you have arranged a car shuttle. The van trip takes about two to three hours, arriving back in Galice around 4 to 5 PM. It's a beautiful but winding drive; those prone to carsickness may want to be prepared with Dramamine.
