selected rivers of the nation which, with their immediate environments, possess

Gold Beach
The Lower Rogue at Gold Beach and
Wedderburn is where the nations original Jetboat ride began operation. In 1895
a mail contact was issued to carry the mail by river which started the upriver
passenger boats operations. Here on
the Lower Rogue Tour Boats will skim the Rogue's waters 52 miles up into the
Wild and Scenic area going far into the Federally protected Wild and Scenic Section.
Normally no power boats are allowed in a Federally Designated Wild Section, however
motor powered
Tour Boats were operating here long before Wild and Scenic protections were put
in place. Tour Boat travelers will be treated to Wild River, Wild
Lands and abundant Wildlife in a safe and exhilarating whitewater trip
upriver. Mail
Boat Rides were the first to operate with passengers being taken upriver and
back with
prop driven boats, Jerry's Rogue Jets
was the first to use Hydro Jet technology to allow upriver passenger travel in
low water periods.
