"I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had. Greg was fun and
knowledgeable, and kept us in the raft! My 77-year-old mom absolutely

memories."

Nugget Rafting June 10, 2007
Great for beginners & experienced rafters
A raft trip on the "Nugget" run on the Rogue River is a gem of a whitewater rafting trip. The Rogue River has long been known not only for its rafting but also for its world-class salmon and steelhead trout spawning runs. While multitudes of fish struggle upstream to reach a final destination, groups of whitewater rafters test themselves on a whitewater rafting adventure down this section of the Rogue River.
We begin our raft trip on mellow warm-up water, where the rapids start out small and easy. This is a great introduction to rafting and a warm up for beginners leading up to the exciting class III+ Nugget Falls and the class IV grand finale Powerhouse rapid. Both beginners and experienced rafters find the Rogue River Nugget an exciting and enjoyable ride.
Nugget & Powerhouse Rapids
While floating in between rapids make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the abundance of birds such as osprey and blue herons who inhabit the Rogue River. You might even see salmon jumping and struggling to make it up and over Nugget Falls and Powerhouse rapid. The "Nugget" is truly a gem of a raft trip and a great way to spend some time on the river if you don't have a lot of time. Join us for this thrilling rafting "taste test" that will leave you with visions of your next whitewater rafting vacation swimming in your head.
The Nugget trip from pick up to drop off typically takes about 4 to 4.5 hours. A snack and all rafting gear are included with this rafting trip.
