The coolest Rogue River day yet this season

Repeat customer, Jim Beggs, and his sons, on the right, joined us with Jim's friends, Ben and Michele Middleton and their daughter, on our June 16 day trip. It was probably the coolest day day of our Rogue River rafting season and everyone was a good sport and had a good time. Pupeye, our Rogue River rafting dog, provided entertainment for all and chased everything from rainbow, to butterfly to deer. Jim, Michele and Ben are educators in Modesto, CA. It was obvious that Ben Middleton is an English teacher as he described Pupeye and his primordal, spriteful behavior. They all began their summer vacations in southern Oregon attending a few plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and rafting the Rogue River with Ferron's Fun Trips.

Rogue River Fun on a cool June day!

Abby and Jacob Maples, on the left, newlyweds from Cedar Rapids, Iowa rafted with Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips on our full day trip. "This was a lovely start to our honeymoon," they said. In the afternoon a crew from Cupertino, CA, staying at Out 'N About Treehouses www.treehouses.com joined the Maples. In the right photo Maurie and Andrew Feskanich successfully navigate Argo Rapids behind Ferron.

Everyone learned something on this Rogue River rafting trip. Near the end of the day Pupeye, our rafting guide dog, exuberantly jumped off the raft to say hello to a gaggle of geese, many very young. Needless to say, the the baby goslings were scared and submerged themselves until Pupeye went away. Even Ferron was not aware that goslings could go under water!

Despite the unseasonably cool temperatures everyone had a great day on the Rogue River.

Is it summer yet?

The Moses Family from Southlake, Texas joined Ferron and Pupeye today on a cool and windy day trip. This was a departure from the family's traditional island vacation. They have travelled to the Turks and Caicos, the Dominican Republican, and Kauai.
This vacation they ventured to Out 'n About Treehouses www.treehouses.com and spent a day with Ferron's Fun Trips on the Rogue River.
The water was high, the temperatures cool, the wind was blowing, and they were great sports. They had a good close up view of a bald eagle and beautiful Rogue River scenery with cloudy skies and intermittent sunshine.

Bald Eagle on the Rogue River

Krista and Mike joined Pupeye and Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips for half day trip this May. They were staying at Out 'N About Treesort www.treehouses.com and contacted us. Krista grew up in Portland, traveled around and settled back in Portland but decided to take some vacation time in southern Oregon. While rafting, a bald eagle was spotted above them. Perhaps the springtime will bring more eaglets. Stay tuned.

The Rogue River in the fall

Last fall our long time friend and photographer, Charlie Lipson, visited us with his wife Bobbi Bulriss. In the 1980's Charlie rafted on a commercial Rogue River Wild and Scenic trip with us.

Last October Bobbi and Charlie spent an afternoon fishing on the river with Ferron. There are more spectacular scenery pictures that we will share in future blogs but this picture prompted us to ask, "Who has the bigger nose? Pupeye or Ferron?"
Until you see more of Charlie's beautiful photography on our blog, visit his website at

Stay tuned for more beautiful Rogue River fall foliage and hopefully soon we will have beautiful spring flora pictures for you.

A rafting customer took this picture during her raft trip last July. It was a sunny glorious day and the sky was blue. You'll go under this bridge during the first two miles of your trip after Dunn Riffle which you can see from the road. The road switches from river right to river left at this point.
We needed to be reminded of these blue skies as the weather persists here with clouds and mid fifties for highs. Spring is on the way and then RIVER SEASON!!!

Have new Ford van will travel!

Check out the latest motorized vehicle to our fleet. This will be one of the new air conditioned vans that will take you from Foster Bar or Grave Creek back to your vehicle. We're hoping these investments will make your Rogue River experience with us more pleasurable.
