Why take this tour?

The Rogue River might just be the perfect rafting trip. This beloved OARS adventure features exciting whitewater that’s fun for all levels, beach camping, magical side hikes, and abundant wildlife viewing.

Choose from a 3-, 4- or 5-day Rogue River rafting trip with OARS and journey down 40 miles of this scenic waterway in southwestern Oregon, through the storied Siskiyou Mountains, explored for centuries by Native Americans, trappers, and gold prospectors. 

One of the original eight rivers to gain federal “Wild & Scenic” designation in 1968, the Rogue River winds through one of the most beautiful pine-forested canyons in North America. What’s more, the warm, gently surging waters of the Rogue River combine with “one-of-a-kind” rapids, which provide plenty of whitewater excitement – without an “extreme” element.

About operator:

OARS was founded in 1969 by river pioneer George Wendt. By 1974 the company found its permanent home in Angels Camp, California, where George and his wife Pam turned a fledgling rafting company into what is now one of the most respected outfitting companies in the world.


George was president of OARS for 47 years until his passing in July of 2016. He was a visionary entrepreneur and one of the adventure travel industry’s trailblazers. But more importantly, he left a legacy of river conservation and stewardship based on the inspiring idea that spreading the love of wild rivers is the surest path to their protection, now and for the enjoyment of future generations.


Today, Tyler and Clavey Wendt, George and Pam’s sons, are leading the company. They’re dedicated to furthering the company’s commitment to the preservation of wild places and creating meaningful outdoor experiences for our guests—values that have been at the core of OARS for five decades.
