FEDERALLY DESIGNATED AS A "WILD & SCENIC RIVER" Oregon's famed Rogue
River is born as a gushing stream high in the Cascade Range, 215 miles from the
sea. It comes bubbling from massive, icy Boundry Springs in the Northwest corner
of Crater Lake National Park, at the foot of Mount Mazama, the extinct volcano
that holds Crater Lake. Fed by Mazama Creek, Cascade Creek, National Creek, and
numerous other streams and springs, the Rogue quickly gathers size as it dashes
and tumbles south down the slopes of the Cascades.
Our boats will take
you far upriver into the back country of this fabeled place. Our guides will
tell you of the mountains, of the animals, of the Native Americans, of the early
European settlers, and of the river itself.
114 YEARS OF UNINTERRUPTED MAIL SERVICE TO THE UPRIVER AREA! "One of the
oldest and most popular traditions on the Oregon Coast began in 1895 on the
Rogue River. It was born humbly, arising out of the need of remote settlers and
miners living in the vast wilderness of the Rogue River Canyon to communicate
with the outside world, to send and receive letters and packages to and from
distant relatives, to stay associated with friends far away.
From this
need to communicate, intensified by isolation, evolved a tenacious human
enterprise, struggling to overcome forces of nature in a whitewater world. The
history of that achievement is a chronicle of dedication and vision of heroism,
punctuated by tragedy, accented with humor. It is a tradition that has endured
and grown into one of the most unique and famous visitor attractions in the
West.
The celebration of a centennial is a goal sought by many companies,
a rare landmark reached by few. The Rogue River Mail Boat Trips is proud to have
accomplished this goal in 1995, having provided 100-years of continuous postal
service on the Rogue River between the Gold Beach-Wedderburn and Agness post
offices."
