Every few years a forest fire will close the Rogue River. Please keep this in consideration while deciding to purchase trip insurance.

Reviews

My wife and I had an unforgettable adventure on the Rogue River with Nate, Abbie and their highly experienced team. Everything about this excursion was first class from beginning to end. And we always felt safe. I highly recommend taking this trip with Nate and his amazing crew! And by the way, we are in our 70's. Gary and Mary Hill
