About This Access Site
Valley of the Rogue State Park provides boat access to the Rogue River near Gold Hill in Jackson County, Oregon. The Rogue River is a major waterway with significant flow, averaging over 11,500 cubic feet per second, and features a substantial gradient of 24.2 feet per mile. This section of the river is located roughly 216 miles upstream from the Pacific Ocean, placing it well into the main stem of this major Oregon river system.

The river at this access point should be considered for experienced paddlers and boaters due to the significant flow rates and gradient typical of this section. The Rogue River is known for variable conditions depending on season and recent precipitation, with higher flows during spring and winter months. Boaters should be prepared for faster current speeds and be aware that the river's substantial elevation drop creates more challenging paddling conditions than flatwater.

This state park location offers a developed access point to explore one of Oregon's premier river systems. The Rogue River supports a range of boating activities and is popular with both anglers and paddlers seeking to experience this scenic and dynamic waterway.
