Put In: Take the Merlin exit (#61) off I-5 just north of Grants Pass and continue west through Merlin and toward Galice. Pick up your permit at the Rand Visitor Center three miles past Galice. Proceed another 4.5 miles downstream to the Grave Creek Bridge and put in on the right bank just below the bridge.
Take Out: From Grave Creek Bridge return upstream to Galice and turn right onto BLM Road 34-8-36 (paved) which eventually turns into USFS Road 23. Stay on this road over the mountains for about 35 miles until it returns to the Rogue river just above Agnes. At the river stay right onto USFS Road 33 and follow it upstream 1.5 miles, cross the river, bear right, and continue upstream about 3 more miles to Foster Bar Take Out. Approximately 50 miles and 2 hours one way. If BLM Road 34-8-36 and USFS Road 23 are impassable in early season because of snow, drive to Grants Pass and take US 199 south to Crescent City. From Crescent City take US 101 north to Gold Beach and continue upstream toward agnes. |
