Rogue River Rafting, June 2022 (4,750 cfs) 

Glad you enjoyed it. I usually mute the audio when there’s music in other river videos I watch, so I just opt to leave it as is.

Thanks David. It was a great trip as usual down there.

June 6th through the 9th. It’s a 14 ft raft. Usually on multi day trips I have my family on board but this one was to support kayakers.

Thanks. This was filmed with a GoPro Hero 8 Black. “Lower” resolution at 1080 to extend the battery life and 60 fps.

I’ve only ran it in a raft. The rapid itself isn’t all that big but the eddy lines and currents could easily flip an IK without even hitting waves and it wouldn’t be a fun place to swim. Sometimes rafts and other craft gets spun around in there for a bit. Fortunately, all the trips I’ve been on were drama free. I’ve never really given much thought to portaging the rapid but my feeling is that once you enter Mule Creek Canyon you are committed to the rapid. There’s no obvious spot to stop and climb out.

i have been through it on a nice IK and just slid right through it. I just paddled pretty hard through the whole thing.

I’m not sure where China Bar rapids are. You’ll need to clue me in.

@@skull465Got it. I’ve done trips in the 1200-2000 range. There’s rapids there, but I don’t think they are as pronounced as this. This higher level washes out a lot of rapids, but some places are more exciting for sure.
