WINTER Activities for all Ages

The Natural Splendor of Seasons in the Upper Rogue is yours to enjoy!  Few places on earth are as naturally blessed as the year-round recreational opportunities of the Upper Rogue region.  When we welcome you to this winter wonderland, we are not tempting you to just throw your line in the famous Rogue River for world-class steelhead or encourage family memories with the hilarious FUN of inner tubing, sledding and tobogganing at Union Creek Snow-Park www.unioncreekresort.com There are many uncrowded areas for snow shoeing and cross country skiing in and about Crater Lake National Park. Adults or families sign up in advance for the 1 p.m. Free Ranger Guided Snow Shoe Walk (from Dec 12, to April 25, 2010); call:  541-594-3100.   For Free Ranger Guided Snowshoe Hikes, groups of 10 or more, schedule your visit in advance by calling 541-594-3093. Visit: www.nps.gov/crla/planyourvisit/guidedtours.htm)  

Sharing of good times on the well-groomed trails provided by the Rogue Snowmobiler’s Club (www.roguesnowmobilers.com) is becoming increasingly popular. Trail Permits are required. 

For Trail Permits contact the Prospect Rangers Station at: 541-560-3400. 

Experiencing the Upper Rogue in winter has many facets; savor the beauty that is a gift, enjoy its many recreational pleasures; treasure and protect its beauty as good stewards.
