Valley of the Rogue State Park

Valley of the Rogue State Park is a protected area stretching along the Rogue River in Jackson County with camping facilities, hiking paths, and direct river access. The land features multiple locations where visitors can set up camp or walk through natural surroundings close to the water.

The park was created between 1959 and 1969 through gradual land purchases by the State of Oregon from private owners. These acquisitions allowed the river corridor to become publicly accessible and protected.

The Rogue River flowing through the park gained recognition through the works of novelist Zane Grey, who frequently fished its waters.

The park offers different overnight options including sites with full hookups, basic camping areas, and small rental cabins. Visitors will find the best conditions from spring through fall when weather is mild and activities are most accessible.

The land connects with the Rogue River Greenway Trail, a pathway that links visitors to a broader regional network of routes. This connection makes it possible to take longer walks beyond the park boundaries and explore the surrounding landscape.
