Valley Of The Rogue State Park boat launch
Valley Of The Rogue State Park
The boat ramp at Valley of the Rogue State Park is a concrete ramp, which is wide enough to accommodate most types of watercraft. It is approximately 30 feet wide, providing ample space for launching and retrieving boats of various sizes. The ramp is also equipped with a dock for loading and unloading passengers and gear.
The Rogue River, which is serviced by the Valley of the Rogue State Park boat ramp, is a scenic and popular waterway for a variety of recreational activities. This river supports a wide range of watercraft, including motorized boats, kayaks, canoes, and rafts. However, there are some restrictions on the type of boats permitted on the water, depending on the time of year and the location within the river.
According to the latest information available from the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission, the Valley of the Rogue State Park boat ramp is open year-round, weather permitting. Boaters are advised to check current river conditions and weather forecasts before heading out on the water, as conditions can change rapidly. Additionally, all boaters are required to follow applicable boating laws and regulations, including those related to safety equipment, speed limits, and alcohol consumption.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
