The Rogue is a popular whitewater river in southwestern Oregon. It flows 215 mile to the Pacific Ocean, Gold Beach. It is home of trout and northwest salmon as well as steelhead throughout its course. Many federal and state agencies partner with local agencies to protect the native fish population.
Rogue River offers spectacular scenery and is an excellent spot to fish or do other outdoor recreational activities. Many outfitters offer jet-boat trips and fly fishing. These activities can be combined with a wine tasting session. You can choose to have a picnic on the riverbank or go for an adventure on a paddle board. There are plenty of options.
To reach the Mountain of the Rogue you can drive through the center of town and then follow North River Road. As you continue south on the road, you will see a small bridge over the Rogue. The bridge can be crossed and a paved path takes you up to great views of the gorge. From here, you will continue along the Rogue River on a larger trail.
The Rogue's banks are surrounded by rugged, boulder-lined hills. You can experience the river from the safety of your vehicle or on a commercially guided tour. This river has many different experiences. There are class II and IV rapids and wildlife. The river can be enjoyed year-round.
Although the Rogue River is known for its whitewater rapids, there are other ways to enjoy the river. You can, for example, hike the 40-mile Rogue River National Recreation Trail. You can also visit the Rogue River Basin Project which has several recreation areas.
Riding a motorcycle is one of the most enjoyable ways to see the Rogue. There are many trails for riders of all levels. Many of these routes can be accessed via Interstate 5. If you don’t have the time or desire to ride, you can make a quick stop at Rogue River.
If you want a longer route, you can take the Rogue River Greenway Trail. This scenic, easy to follow route follows the train tracks. It starts at the Depot Street Bridge and goes about a mile to its trailhead.
There will be informational signs posted at the trailhead. You'll also see a parking lot with pit toilets. The area can be explored on foot or by bicycle from this parking lot. You can access many of the trails from the park from both sides. Some trails are single-track, others are flow trails. Each option is more challenging as you ascend higher in elevation.
Another great way to enjoy the Rogue is to try stand-up paddleboarding. Many outfitters can arrange a paddle-boarding or rafting excursion. You can either take the Rogue River on a short, unequipped day trip or join an extended, commercially-oriented trip.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping is also known as parachuting or free-fall. It involves jumping from fixed objects such as buildings, bridges and towers without any equipment. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. The process is very similar to skydiving. However, you do not need to wear a parachutee and don't have hold your breath while waiting for the parachute to open.
The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit consists of two pieces, each piece of fabric being sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates a thrust that propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
Some people who want to try out BASE jumping don't know what they're getting into. If you decide to learn how to BASE jump, make sure you understand the risks involved. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Watch out for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Finally, never jump alone. Always have someone else watching over you.
