Rogue

I'm lucky enough to live in S. Oregon so this run is in my extended backyard and I been down it around 20 times. Mostly as a spur of the moment mid week grab a couple of cancellation spots, book a room at the lodge two day kayak trip. If you can plan and act quick this is a great way to go, esp. for kayakers. I just throw in a pair of shorts, shirt, flip flops, wag bag and a lunch into the back of the boat and away we go. I've been down on many flow levels, But my favorite levels are between 3,200 to 4,000cfs on the Agness gauge. Between these parameters; the water moves thru the pools, the rapids have more push and this is to my mind the best level for playboating, you'll find some great waves scattered about down below Paradise at these flows. Below 3,000cfs, I'll bring a longer boat to ease the paddling effort thru the long slow pools. I highly recommend hiking up to the waterslide on Tate Ck....it's tons of fun! Blossom is a pretty easy move but don't underestimate it and get yourself in a class 4 frame of mind when running it .
