| Description: The ever-popular Wild & Scenic Upper Rogue River flows from the Crater Lake National Park boundary 40.3 miles to the Rogue River National Forest boundary at Prospect. The main highway for Crater Lake National Park parallels the river, & the corridor is lined with campgrounds, picnic areas, & places to stop & admire the scenery. Pullouts include a grove of giant pines, a natural bridge, & a waterfall. Other celebrated landscape features include pumice flats, deep gorges & chutes, & the deep mixed conifer forests characteristic of the Siskiyou Mountains.
