This picture taken at Hellgate Overlook was after thunderstorms, torrential rains, lightening and 45+ mile an hour winds on Sunday, March 13. What is usually a Class II+ whitewater rapid at Dunn Riffle is washed out as the Rogue River flows at 10,000 cubic feet per second in comparison to its summer flow of 1800-2000 cubic feet per second. It's still winter weather in southern Oregon. We're hoping once the rains stop and the river drops that we'll have beautiful, sandy, pristine beaches on the Rogue River for summer relaxation and fun and wonderful whitewater rafting adventures.
