| River Bridge Campground to North Fork Reservoir on the Rogue River |
Like the upper sections of the North Fork Rogue River, this section of whitewater can be run all year long and is a great summer time run. This section consists of many class III+ technical ledge drops and about mid way through the run there are a few class IV drops. Scouting is possible from either side of the river on almost all of the rapids. Run this section of the North Fork first for a good introduction to the character of the river.
