Rogue River Ranch is a site with evidence of over 9,000 years of Indian habitation and was also a turn of the century mining site along with a rich history of a secluded 20th century river community. The ranch is 23 miles downriver from Grave Creek and has a museum open to the public from May through October. There is access to the Ranch by way of a 2 to 3 hour drive, from I-5, on a winding, narrow logging road. There is rustic camping and limited parking. There are not any gas stations or stores.
