The half-day trip on the Rogue River through Hellgate Canyon is our most scenic half-day trip. The forbidding walls of Hellgate Canyon rise out of the water at the rivers edge marking a dramatic point of transition into the whitewater downstream. As we float through the canyon osprey and eagles fly over head as the search the river for fish. This trip flows through two distinct gorges and concludes with two of the best class II rapids on the day section of the Rogue River. This is a great trip anyone wanting to learn to inflatable kayak or any family with younger kids wanting to raft.

During our half-day trip on the Rogue River groups will float through the beautiful Hellgate Canyon before entering our first of many class II rapids. Hellgate canyon is the place where the Rogue River enters the coastal range of mountains and is an incredible site to take in. This trip has the perfect amount of whitewater to challenge anyone who wants to learn to inflatable kayak or to entertain the younger kids who choose to join us in a raft. This is a great half-day on the Rogue River for anyone looking for a fun and scenic float with just the right amount of whitewater.

Had a great morning rafting down the Rouge River. Tom was a great guide. He gave us lots of insights on the different names for the rapids and other things on our route.

Going to go through the rapids in a solo kayak was amazing and fun, especially with our excellent guides, Alex and Jake. Would absolutely do this again with them.
