The famous Rogue River, known for its salmon runs, rugged scenery, and whitewater rafting was one of the first rivers named in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Starting near Crater Lake, and flowing through the Cascade Mountains, the Rogue passes just a few miles northwest of Central Point. Some of the only dinosaur remains found in Oregon were near the Otter Point Formation of the Rogue River, so this waterway has a truly unique biology and history. Fishing, and of course kayaking and rafting are popular activities.

Just to the south, in California, enjoy
Klamath National Forest
, with almost two million acres of huge stands of fir, ponderosa pine, and other old growth trees. The gorgeous Klamath Mountains punctuate this striking landscape, and a favorite spot is Kangaroo Lake, with fishing, boating, and camping areas.
A visit to this area in your Central Point camper rental is not complete without visiting
Crater Lake National Park
, a little over an hour’s drive away. Known for its namesake Crater Lake, which was formed by a collapsed volcano peak, Mount Mazama, there are many trails including the famous Sun Notch, which features views of the mysterious Phantom Ship island. Snowmelt feeds the lake water, as well as seasonal rains, making this area one of the most photographed spots in the Pacific Northwest.
