Our 1/2 Day PM Rogue River Hellgate rafting trip is an ideal way to enjoy the beautiful Southern Oregon sun in the summer time. Hot weather, plenty of whitewater, lots of swimming make this a perfect family afternoon adventure.

A fully customizable river tour between the months of September and November. Our multi-day river trips include just about anything you may be interested in. From hiking, camping, fishing, swimming, cliff jumping, photography, the options are endless! We offer many different options of watercraft, camping/lodging, duration, meals, and have the some of the best trained guides backed with years of experience.

The Rogue River thrill seeker is the trip for the group who can’t decide on the experience they want so they choose to do it all. In the morning paddle yourself in an inflatable kayak through the pristine pools in the bottom of Hellgate Canyon. Take on some adventure and paddle yourself through the class II rapids of the Rogue River in your own inflatable kayak! Our guides will teach you the skills and show you the lines, but paddling through will be all you, and you can certainly do it! Mid-day the group will enjoy lunch on our patio between games of ladder golf. After you have had your fill we load in the van for a short drive to the put-in for the Nugget Falls section of the Rogue River. This section of the river has much bigger whitewater so we load into a paddle raft where you paddle as part of a team through the frothing torrents. The afternoon section builds in difficulty, culminating in the famous Tilomikh falls, a combination of two drops plummeting over 10 feet in total.
