Looking for a multi-day backpacking adventure, without the heavy pack or freeze-dried food? Explore the iconic Rogue River Trail with our raft supported hiking trips. Let us take the heavy stuff and make delicious hot meals as you stretch your legs on 40 miles of stunning riverside trail.

​

The Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River is one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth. This is the trip if you're looking to truly experience the magic of the Pacific Northwest, to be fully immersed in wild beauty. Our river guides will float all the necessary camping gear while you hike with just a light day pack. Feeling tired, hop on a raft and float for a while through clear water and splashy class III and IV rapids. Depending on the trip, we offer camping or accommodation in historic lodges along the river (based upon availability), or a mix of both. Our friendly staff will prepare delicious hot breakfast and dinner, and we'll meet you for riverside lunches and snacks.

 

The Rogue River trail is not paved and is for hikers with some experience. We'll hike 6-14 miles a day with lots of ups and downs. Not recommended for beginners or young children. Hazards on the trail include poison oak, wildlife, steep or uneven terrain, slick or unstable conditions if there is rain, and exposure to steep drops.

 

We offer the unique opportunity to see the Rogue River Trail in the fall, with milder temperatures and fewer crowds. The hillsides glow with autumn colors and foraging wildlife. Mornings and evenings are crisp while days are still usually sunny and warm, especially in September and October. Be sure to bring your camera for shots you won't find anywhere else and keep your eyes open for black bears with cubs.

​

This trip operates on the traditional territory of the ancestral lands of the Cow Creek Umpqua, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Tolowa Dee-ni’, Takelma and Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians.

​

TRANSPORTATION

We will meet you near the river at the start of the trip and drive you back to your vehicle at the end of the trip. For an additional fee you can arrange to have your personal vehicle shuttled to the takeout. We recommend the personal vehicle shuttle if you are planning to visit the coast, Crater Lake, the Redwoods, or any other local attractions before heading home.

 

ACCOMMODATION

Depending on the trip, we offer riverside camping or accommodation in historic lodges along the river (based upon availability, or a mix of both. All equipment is provided on camping trips. Lodge stays includes a private room and bathroom with a hot shower.

MEALS

During lodge stays, lodge staff prepare two delicious meals a day, and you'll enjoy riverside lunches prepared by Arrowhead staff. While camping, our guides will prepare meals, and of course there will be no shortage of snacks.
