From Hawaii to the Rogue River

We enjoyed a half day trip with this young man and his family who had flown from Hawaii to attend a sibling's college graduation in Seattle. The group was exploring the west coast and joined us one morning. They had driven from Crater Lake that day and were headed south following their morning float. It's always such a thrill to introduce folks to the Rogue River.

Yorkie and family on June 23 Rogue River day trip

This family rafted on a half day Rogue River trip with us in 2009. They returned this year for a full day trip. The boys enjoyed the kayaks so much last time that they decided to try it again. Though the morning skies were cloudy and the day was cool, the weather did not deter this 13 and 15 year old. Even the Yorkie had a good time!

Family Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trip in June

Today our day trippers ranged in age from 6 years old to 80 years old. The elder recounted to Ferron her experience when she was 10 years and Pearl Harbor was bombed in front of her eyes. She had more life experience to offer than the history of the Rogue River that Ferron recounted. She admired the tapestry of greens which will slowly disappear as temperatures rise to over 90 degrees in the Rogue Valley the next couple of days.

From Wisconsin to the Rogue River

Nadine and Keeley from Wisconsin sent us this picture from their May Ferron's Rogue River Fun Trips day. Nadine writes, "Ferron and Pupeye, Thank you for sharing your time with Keeley and myself. You helped us make great memories." Nadine and Keeley

Rogue River June 15 day trip

Ferron calls this Blogpost "Surfing Turtle" which was seen at our lunch spot below Galice. The turtle is perched on a floating piece of wood. It looks like a totally relaxing spot to us. The Baldwin Family from Santa Clara, CA who are staying at The Treesort joined us as did Roy and Carol Reynolds from Lakeland, Florida who are visiting their friend from Selma, Oregon.

Riken Rogue River Rental

For those of you who want plenty of storage and dry boxes we recently purchased this 16 foot Riken for Rogue River downriver rentals. If you want fewer boxes, we can remove some. One of the boxes makes a kitchen stand to place your propane stove and other kitchen needs. Don't forget that all of our rentals include everything but your personal camping equipment and kitchen gear. Have fun with Ferron's Rogue River raft trip rentals this summer!

Rogue River raft rental package

Mother's Day week end Ferron and Sue had the opportunity to raft the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River. Sue rowed our fifteen foot self bailing Riken and Ferron rowed our 16 foot Hyside with a double row passenger seating frame. We stayed at lodges on the lower Rogue and were able to carry less gear and more people.
And in early May we saw a bear, bald eagle, and an osprey catch a fish right behind our rafts. The Rogue River still remains wild and scenic.
