  • Back in 2015 this is what the rapids of the Rogue looked like. We floated the Wild and Scenic section of Rogue River. Went from Argo boat landing to Foster Bar boat ramp in 10.5 foot pontoons. Rafted June 22-27, with an average CFS at Grants Pass 2200. Many class III's along the way with three IV's. Nothing to challenging. The Tate creek waterfall slide if fun way to cool off in the hot summer, and watch out for bears around there.

    Went down these rapids in an inflated kayak, fell out in the middle of every Class 5 rapid. The guides did not appreciate the humor I found in it. My favorite whitewater excursion.

    true story: i was kayaking tandem with my father when we flipped on one of these rapids; i was getting bashed up in the water and could barely catch a grasp of air! all of a sudden this hand reaches down under water and grabs my life vest and pulls me ashore. dunno who the guy was but what an angel. i was on the other side of the river from the party but someone brought me across. they were a little further down from where the man probabably saved my life.

    One of the best, fun rivers to run. Highly recommend Orange Torpedoes if you want to do this river with professional guides, staying in cabins.

    I'm doing this float in July. I was going to do it with my packraft but your video talked me out of that possibility.

    Good video. But I think your ratings on some of the rapids where a bit generous. Honestly, the only class IV"s are Ranie Falls and Blossom Bar. Everything else is class 2s and 3s.

      I suppose it depends to some degree on water level, who's rowing (skill level), and what they're rowing (drift boat vs cataraft vs self-bailing raft, etc.

      @@pancakeface5717 it 100% depends on water level. When the level gets really low most of those rapids turn into rock gardens that only have one way through them. They can be pretty tricky. The only nice thing with low water is it moves slower.

    You’re one of the only catarafters who video their runs on here that I feel paddles and aims the raft the right way, or at least the way I would. Smaller boat too! Looked like fun. Did it you get through it in one day?

    We dont have rapids in Hawaii, unless you can call a waterfall rapids. Sure looks fun!

    Okay hold on just a minute, what size pontoons are you running?

    • @k9er233
      @k9er233 Před rokem

      They look like about 8 - 9 feet to me.

      Nothin much the rapids seem to be lame and more lame after each year

    Yes the ratings on your vid are definitely overrated for sure

    • @ryanbrockmiller1648
      @ryanbrockmiller1648 Před 3 lety +2

      I have a old guide book and his ratings pretty much match it. Looks like he was running it at high water. When you run it in late august when I can be as low as 900 CFS. Most of those rapids are rock gardens with only one way through them. They can be pretty technical
