Rafting the Rogue River

WELCOME TO THE JOSEPHINE COUNTY PARKS WEB SITE.

Josephine County has some of the most beautiful parks in the Pacific Northwest. All but two camping parks are located on the world famous Rogue River. The Rogue River has world class salmon and steelhead fishing as well as white water rafting. The parks accommodations range from primitive camping to modern RV camping and tent sites. In addition to scenic Hellgate Jet Boat excursions, there are numerous guide services available. Most of the parks have great activities such as horse shoes, disc golf, hiking, volleyball, softball and bank fishing. There are two parks that have bird sanctuaries, ADA camp and picnic sites and ADA rest rooms. Most of the parks offer large areas for large group camping and activities.
