A second entry in our winter series on other rivers we enjoy paddling.

If you’re looking to plan a family river vacation out West, the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon is one of the finest experiences you can choose. The wildlife viewing is superb and the river canyon is absolutely beautiful. It will remind you of the Buffalo River’s lush, narrow corridor, only with larger, more engaging rapids.

Selected by Congress as a Wild & Scenic River in 1968, the Rogue lives up to its expectation as a pristine wilderness destination. You’ll feel miles and miles from nowhere and gorgeous scenery is waiting around every bend in the river. It’s no wonder that National Geographic Adventure magazine (see news article) recently ranked the Rogue as one of the country's top...

We recently came across this lovely blog article featuring the story and photos of an upper Buffalo River hiking adventure to Whitaker Point (aka Hawksbill Crag) that a dad and his two young girls recently enjoyed together. We found Steve Rush's account of his outing with the kids to represent how perfectly the charm of wintertime on the Buffalo can be enjoyed by families with youngsters.
