Often when folks call the Whitewater Warehouse offices, they will ask about the class of white water on the Rogue River. How many rapids? How big?....those kinds of questions. But, interestingly, we find that it is actually the Rogue's quiet waters that really get into our long-term guests' blood. The beauty of scenes like the one photographed above by legendary photographer Rob Robinson, seem to attach themselves to our souls.
The Rogue River's beauty is certainly in its first-class, pool-and-drop rapids series that are sprinkled throughout the 40+ mile journey. But, yet, there is also an incredible depth in the quiet, clear waters. The still waters provide a respite where guests can sit back and enjoy the scenery, the passing underwater rocks, the wildlife, or just be mesmerized by the ever-changing cloud structures.
Factoid: The Rogue is known as a classic "pool and drop" river. What this phrase means is that guests experience a fun series of rapids and then drop into pools of quiet waters before moving on to the next series of rapids. Perfect fun for rafting or inflatable kayaking!
