Casey State Recreation Site

Casey State Recreation Site is a recreation area along the Rogue River near Medford with open lawns, picnic tables, and grilling spots set beneath trees. The site includes a boat launch, walking trails, and parking areas designed for visitors spending time along the river.

The federal government leased this land in 1932 and purchased it in 1937 after James Allen Casey operated a small restaurant and tourist camp there. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built parking areas, tables, grills, and walking trails on the site.

The Civilian Conservation Corps enhanced the site by constructing parking lots, tables, individual stoves, a boat ramp, and walking trails.

Bring your own drinking water since none is available on-site, and check current fishing regulations before planning any angling activities. The boat ramp is accessible for launching, and the walking paths are easy to navigate.

The site offers direct access to salmon, steelhead, and trout fishing spots along the Rogue River that are active during different seasons. Anglers can target multiple fish species as each has its own time of year when it is present.
