Hiking while on a Rogue River rafting trip will be diverse and varied. The beauty of this Wild and Scenic environment in this pristine wilderness canyon can find you surrounded by ferns and lush vegetation one minute and expansive old oak and cedar groves the next. Most of the hiking along the Rogue River is moderate in grade and easy for everyone to enjoy.
As we travel down river, we make occasional stops to lead 'side hikes' which can be either very short and relatively easy, or much longer, covering significant distances and elevation. We hike over uneven, rocky, and often steep surfaces, hiking is encouraged and yet optional.
Prepare yourself for hiking around Rainie Falls on your first day of rafting, this hike is approximately 200 yards on uneven terrain. Other required hikes or walks are from the rafts to the lodges each night.
