Taking a road trip is the perfect way to experience the beauty of Oregon! Two of Oregon’s nationally designated Wild and Scenic Rivers lead the way on this 172-mile/277-kilometer route, an ever-changing feast of white water, waterfalls, and deep gorges gouged in the deeply forested southern Cascade Mountains.

When it comes to rivers, Oregon has an embarrassment of riches. The Rogue and the Umpqua are two of its most storied, both for their world-famous fishing and rafting and for their primal beauty.  This route first travels up the North Umpqua River from I-5 at Roseburg, then arcs back down the Upper Rogue River to Gold Hill, just a short drive back to the interstate.  With abundant opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping, the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway explores one of the state’s best-loved areas.
