The Rogue River is one of the original Wild and Scenic Rivers in the United States. On the Scenic Section of the the Rogue, there are miles of Class I and II whitewater rapids with an occasional Class III rapid. No permits are required to float on the Scenic Section which runs by the Rogue Glen Lodge. Rafts can be carried to the river's edge in front of the Lodge. Boat ramps are located up and down river for larger rafts or boats.
The Rogue Glen Lodge is a great place to stay before or after embarking on your Wild Section adventure. The 2008 regulated use season on the Wild Section of the Rogue River, Grave Creek to Watson Creek, begins May 15, 2008. Anyone floating this section of the Rogue River from May 15 to October 15 is required to obtain a permit from the Smullin Visitor Center at Rand prior to launching their trip. Permit fees are $10.00 per person. Spaces are still available for the 2008 season by calling the Smullin Visitor Center at Rand at (541) 479-3735.
 When fishing the middle Rogue, the Rogue Glen Lodge puts you where the fish are! Just wake up and walk down to the River - bring home a fish and we'll fix it for breakfast! The steelhead and salmon fishing on the Rogue is famous. Spring Chinook fishing usually starts in April when the dogwood trees bloom. Some folks say these "springers" are the best eating salmon. The fall Chinook run starts about mid-September. The locals say the first good rain in September will start the summer steelhead run from September into December. January through April the fishing just keeps happening with winter steelhead! The Rogue Glen is located between Ennis Riffle and Carpenter's Island. Both are great spots for fly fishing or you can cast from our bank. Bring your boat or we can help you arrange a fishing guide and boat.
The Rogue's wildlife viewing is legendary. Deer, black bear, river otters, beaver, mallards, merganser and wood ducks, turtles, bald eagles, and osprey are a common sighting. Deer can be seen in our front yard and a family of Canada Geese wander down to the river from their nest on our property.
Bird watching guests will find spring and summer months packed with a huge variety of birds. Summer and winter bring a variety as well. Our cherry trees host flocks of Bullock Oriels and Western Tanangers in early June. Migrating songbirds are abundant spring into summer. Water foul include a variety of ducks, sand pipers, geese, and osprey, and the tree swallows swarm the river surface when flies are hatching. |
