Is the river and rushing water your siren song? If so, then we’ll see you at the 6th annual King of the Rogue — the best river event of the year!
Whether you participate in the race, spectate or stroll along the Riverwalk Marketplace, we invite you to spend August 18th on the river at the Gold Hill Whitewater Center.
As you make your way there, everything -- parking, the launch area, viewing, and the marketplace -- will be on Upper River Road (river left) side. Don't follow the signs to the Ti'lomikh Falls parking area, or you'll end up on the wrong side of the river!
