Along with Crater Lake and Mount Hood, the Rogue River is one of Oregon’s distinct scenic landmarks. It is one of the original 8 rivers in the nation to be protected by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 for its “outstandingly remarkable values”. Beyond its unique history and scenic beauty, the Rogue has thrilling rapids that thousands of visitors splash through every summer. In addition to the plentiful recreation here in Oregon, we have become known for our finely crafted ales, that seem to taste even better when they’re enjoyed outdoors after a fun-filled day. That’s one reason we offer trips with special guests from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and Double Mountain Brewery. On these trips, guests follow up action-packed days on the Rogue by unwinding each evening in camp with fine ales, fresh, delicious meals and spectacular views. We invite brewers to discuss the ales and the beer making process. We take our beer seriously on these trips and even have a special “river jockey box” that pours ice cold drafts the whole trip.
