Document - Regional Economic Impacts of Recreation on the Wild and Scenic Rogue River

Abstract

In May 2008, the Save the Wild Rogue Campaign engaged ECONorthwest to analyze the economic impacts that recreation-related spending on the Wild & Scenic Rogue River has on the economy of Josephine County, Oregon. This report summarizes the results of the economic analysis. We estimate that in 2007 alone, river-based recreation, which includes rafting, fishing, and jetboat tours, on the Wild & Scenic Rogue accounted for not less than $9.8 million in direct spending, 225 full- and part-time jobs, and $14 million in total economic output, which included $7.5 million in personal income.
