            Momentum River Expeditions: World-Class River Trips

We still have more trips coming up this year, but many of you are already looking forward to 2010 so our schedule is up and we have started taking reservations. You can check out the schedule on our Rogue Rafting Page. We already have a few wine tasting trips scheduled and we will be adding at least a few more specialty trips as the winter progresses. As many of you know we LOVE doing custom trips. The Rogue is much more heavily regulated them most rivers (a good thing - it protects it wilderness feel) so with custom trips we just need to plan farther ahead to make sure we can get dates and spaces that work for you. If you have any questions give us a call!

As summer comes to a close and we start to contemplate school, cool weather and the changing colors we think to ourselves….Wait a second!  There’s still some great rafting to be had!!!!

Just because it’s almost September doesn’t mean it has to end!  We still have amazing river trips from half day trips to multi day excursions.  Some of our best is yet to come!  Come and join us on the Wild and Scenic Rogue River for one of our cozy 3 day lodge trips and some of the best fall fishing on the west coast!  The Salmon and Steelhead runs are just starting and there are some big fish coming up river!  Enjoy an evening next to the fire with a beverage, a good book and delicious food in a rustic river lodge!  The perfect fall getaway!

One of our all time favorites, the Upper Klamath, is the ultimate fall weekend trip with its warmer waters, its consistent flows and its abundance of whitewater!  While everyone else mourns lower water levels around the country, we delight in knowing that we’ve got plenty of it!  Day trips from Ashland return with plenty of time for dinner and the theater.

Reasons we love this time of year? The crowds are gone!  The colors are changing!  The fish are jumping! The warm, fall light is here and….we don’t have to stop doing what we love! (at least not for a little while longer)

Call today or send us an email! We have Rogue Lodge trips scheduled through October and the Upper Klamath will be holding steady well into the fall.  Let us show you why we love late summer and fall on the river!

Steps toward removing the Rogue River’s second largest dam are well under way.  With the removal of the Gold Ray Dam, the Rogue River would flow freely for nearly 157 miles to the ocean! Recent articles focus on sediment testing behind the dam to determine the toxicity of reservoir sediments. Local geologists took core samples and tested them for contaminents.  Click on the links below for more. A recent public meeting discussed the pro’s and con’s of removing the 100 year old dam.  Public comments are being taken until August 28th that will be included in a report for the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.  Let your voice be heard! And let’s see our Rogue River flow freely once again! Send comments to Pat Foley at Rogue Valley Council of Governments 155 North First St. Central Point, OR 97502 or by email to pfoley@rvcog.org.
