The Rogue River starts high in the Cascade Range near Crater Lake and flows west for more than 200 miles through the rugged Klamath Basin before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Gold Beach. The river passes through some of the most ecologically rich landscape in the United States and lies in the heart of the Klamath-Siskiyou eco-region, where three mountain ranges converge.
