The most popular section for Rogue River rafting is the 35 miles between Grave Creek and Foster Bar. Most people take 4 days to float this section, although trips range from 3-7 days. The rapids are mostly Class II and III with big pools in between. The one Class IV rapid Blossom Bar is famous for causing problems for boaters. Each summer unskilled boaters get hung up on the rocks in the rapid.
