Rafting Labor Day Vacation Special on Rogue River

FRIDAY, 15 AUGUST 2008

Grants Pass, OR - Join O'Brien's Rogue River Outfitters and capture the breathtaking beauty that is unique to the Rogue River on our full day or half day rafting adventures. Guests may choose to ride along in a 16-foot or 18-foot Rogue Inflatable Raft, paddle their own inflatable kayaks, or even opt to experience both rides by switching back and forth between the raft and kayak. This 15-mile stretch of river has a little bit of everything from exhilarating whitewater to serene canyons to old growth forests to deep river pools perfect for cooling off in the end of the summer heat. O'Brien's Rogue River Outfitters has been rafting the Rogue for three generations and thirty years of guiding experience and had the reputation of "the best guides from any river ever traveled".

The Full Day Rogue River Rafting trip begins at Hog Creek Boat Ramp where guests are immediately whisked into the quiet depths of Hellgate Canyon. This canyon stands timeless and echoes a splendor rarely found so undisturbed. As the trip continues, guests experience the thrill of whitewater rapids at Class I, II, and III on a scale of I-VI. You will see Osprey raising their young and diving for fish. Otter, beaver, muskrat, and deer are also frequently seen and occasionally a black bear will be wandering the bank looking for berries or a salmon to eat. The wide variety of song birds, ducks, geese, and birds of prey along this trip make it a paradise for the Bird Watchers from around the world.

Lunch is served midway through the Full Day Raft Trip along the banks of the river. There is something special packed into a river lunch every day and nobody leaves hungry. The afternoon is filled with more whitewater adventure, occasional water fights, and plenty of picture-taking opportunities. The Full Day Trip ends at Grave Creek Boat Ramp, 15 miles from the starting point. Our guests leave this trip fully relaxed, rejuvenated, and really connected to one another. These trips bring families and friends back to raft the Rogue River in Southern Oregon year after year.

If time is limited, but the river is calling to you, The Half Day Rogue River rafting trip is three hours from beginning to end. If your travels are taking you through Southern Oregon, a Half Day Rafting detour on the river is the perfect respite to break up a long drive and see some of the most beautiful country in Oregon. Join O'Brien's Rogue River Outfitters for an end of the summer whitewater treat.
