Snow Far, Snow Good!

As of today, January 24, the snow pack for the Rogue River drainage is looking to be around 85% of normal, which is pretty good considering that we haven’t had any BIG storms roll through recently.

The Rogue River is one of the crowned-jewels in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Rogue is thought by many as being the premier wilderness run in Oregon and is one of the most sought-after permits in the country. Upstream of the wilderness run and near Gold Hill, the Rogue offers paddlers the excitement of fun class III drops and a half-day of paddling.

Southern Oregon University’s Outdoor Program will be offering trips on the Upper Rogue (also known as the “Nugget” stretch) to students, faculty, and staff of the University. It is a spectacular section of river that is well suited for beginners through advanced paddlers because of its diverse features. Please join the Outdoor Program this coming spring on the Upper Rogue. You will have a blast, get a great work out, and meet some fun and active folks. In the meantime, think “snow.”
