Alaska, no big surprise, is ranked number one in the nation for most Wild & Scenic river miles (3,210 total miles). Oregon, however, is ranked number TWO with 1,777 Wild & Scenic River miles--even more than our southern neighbor, California (source: Backpacker magazine June, 2008).
We always say here at Whitewater Warehouse that Oregon's most famous wild & scenic river, the Rogue River, is easy to travel to but hard to forget. And this statistic just reinforces that thought...with all those incredible river miles, our guests find it an easy flight/drive to reach but leave with lasting impressions of a beautiful, wildlife-filled outdoor adventure. And, in our case, we even offer the luxury of staying in rustic, riverside lodges each night!
