Rogue River Rapids

- Back in 2015 this is what the rapids of the Rogue looked like. We floated the Wild and Scenic section of Rogue River. Went from Argo boat landing to Foster Bar boat ramp in 10.5 foot pontoons. Rafted June 22-27, with an average CFS at Grants Pass 2200. Many class III's along the way with three IV's. Nothing to challenging. The Tate creek waterfall slide if fun way to cool off in the hot summer, and watch out for bears around there.
This is an excellent compilation of the major Rogue W&S rapids.
Thanks! (I will be sharing this one for sure.)

Most (experienced) folks I know find the class ratings (based on average flows) very arbitrary. They can vary quite a bit depending on the flow rate that day.
As always:

Good video. But I think your ratings on some of the rapids where a bit generous. Honestly, the only class IV"s are Ranie Falls and Blossom Bar. Everything else is class 2s and 3s.
I suppose it depends to some degree on water level, who's rowing (skill level), and what they're rowing (drift boat vs cataraft vs self-bailing raft, etc.
@@pancakeface5717 it 100% depends on water level. When the level gets really low most of those rapids turn into rock gardens that only have one way through them. They can be pretty tricky. The only nice thing with low water is it moves slower.
Yes the ratings on your vid are definitely overrated for sure
I have a old guide book and his ratings pretty much match it. Looks like he was running it at high water. When you run it in late august when I can be as low as 900 CFS. Most of those rapids are rock gardens with only one way through them. They can be pretty technical
true story: i was kayaking tandem with my father when we flipped on one of these rapids; i was getting bashed up in the water and could barely catch a grasp of air! all of a sudden this hand reaches down under water and grabs my life vest and pulls me ashore. dunno who the guy was but what an angel. i was on the other side of the river from the party but someone brought me across. they were a little further down from where the man probabably saved my life.
One of the best, fun rivers to run. Highly recommend Orange Torpedoes if you want to do this river with professional guides, staying in cabins.
How long did it take?
I'm doing this float in July. I was going to do it with my packraft but your video talked me out of that possibility.
just saw this....wow you were so calm and smooth. made it look easy. little too big for this guy i think.
Went down these rapids in an inflated kayak, fell out in the middle of every Class 5 rapid. The guides did not appreciate the humor I found in it. My favorite whitewater excursion.
That boil at the top of coffeepot was wild
named "godzilla boil" I believe
The video was much more interesting when the non-camera boat took the lead.
You’re one of the only catarafters who video their runs on here that I feel paddles and aims the raft the right way, or at least the way I would. Smaller boat too! Looked like fun. Did it you get through it in one day?
Did the Rogue 25 years ago and would love to hit it again!!!
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Where’s Rainey Fall’s???
Zoo heev li o
Nicely done.
That was fun. Thank you.
Okay hold on just a minute, what size pontoons are you running?
They look like about 8 - 9 feet to me.
10.5
We dont have rapids in Hawaii, unless you can call a waterfall rapids. Sure looks fun!
