 The middle Rogue
River towns and waysides reflect a kin-ship with the mighty Rogue River. Parks, trails, restaurants, lodges and motels all are reflective of the rivers moods. In the fall the colorful fall foliage with the beautiful
waters winding to the sea can be breath taking.
A drive through the Applegate Valley following the Applegate to Jacksonville, a old west town with lots of shops or Applegate Lake with a stop at Cantrell Buckley Park is a pleasant experience.
 The middle Rogue's attractions are wonderful Parks like Josephine County's Indian Mary or the Oregon Parks Departments Valley of the Rogue State Park. The Oregon Caves National Monument near Cave Junction is awe-inspiring.
 Fishing for
King Salmon,
Winter Steelhead,
Summer Steelhead Flyfishing along with

shopping and scenic rivers like the Rogue and Applegate Rivers make the middle
area a activity filled region. The Skate Board park draws skate boarders from hundreds of miles away. All combine to make the middle
Rogue River region a family favorite.

removed from "Grants" at the turn of the 20th century.
Rogue River Oregon
Settled in 1850, the City of Rogue River was previously known as Tailholt,
Gold River and Woodville until 1912 when its name was adopted and the city
was incorporated. The city sits on the banks of its namesake.
Calaveras County has its celebrated frog jump. Rogue River has the rooster crow.
Gold Hill Oregon
In the early 1860s, a large gold nugget was found northeast of the present city
site. Soon, the entire area was swarming with miners and merchants with dreams
of striking it rich.
Oregon Caves National Monument
Oregon Caves National Monument is small in size, 480 acres, but rich in
diversity. Above ground, the monument encompasses a remnant old-growth
coniferous forest including a Douglas-fir tree with the widest known girth in
Oregon. Three hiking trails access this forest. Below ground is a marble cave
created by natural forces over hundreds of thousands of years in one of the
world's most diverse geologic realms.
