Good to know
Opening Month on the Rogue
May brings high, cold, powerful early-season flows on the Rogue, so expect lively rapids and pack a warm layer. Wetsuits and splash tops are there when you need them. Day trips, lodge trips and camping trips all start running this month.
Shoulder season is also the best time for the Rogue River Trail. Our lodge hike and lodge trail run send your bags down the river by raft while you cover the miles on foot.
In Idaho, Hells Canyon trips begin, and the Owyhee wraps up its spring season in early May.
