context_page_description: The Wild Rogue Wilderness is a wilderness area surrounding the 84-mile Wild and Scenic portion of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon, U.S. to protect the watershed. The wilderness was established in 1987 and now comprises 35,818 acres. Because it spans part of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest as well as the Medford district of the Bureau of Land Management, the Wild Rogue Wilderness is administered by both the BLM and the Forest Service.
context_section_description: Popular recreation activities in the Wild Rogue Wilderness include hiking, camping, rock climbing, fishing, and whitewater rafting.  The Rogue River is one of the most popular whitewater runs in the world because of a steady water level due to upstream dams, sunny summer weather, and scenic forests and steep canyons.
  There are several hiking trails in the Wild Rogue, including the Rogue River National Recreation Trail, the Panther Ridge Trail along the northern border of the wilderness, and the Mule Creek Trail on the BLM portion of the wilderness.  The Blossom fire of 2005 destroyed some of the hiking trails, which were still closed at the end of 2007.
