About This Access Site
Rogue Elk Park offers a well-maintained two-lane boat ramp providing year-round access to the upper Rogue River, located 29 miles northeast of Medford via Highway 62. The 33-acre park features three-quarters of a mile of direct river frontage, making it an excellent launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboat users exploring this scenic section of the Rogue. The boat ramp operates during daylight hours year-round, with full park amenities including restrooms, showers, parking, and picnic facilities available during the day-use period.
The park serves as a gateway to the upper Rogue River, a popular destination for both fishing and recreation in a mountainous, timbered canyon setting. Paddlers launching here can access quality river habitat suitable for various skill levels depending on flow conditions and season. For those planning overnight trips, on-site camping is available seasonally (typically late March through early October), and Stewart State Park Campground is located nearby. The location also provides convenient access to nearby attractions including Lost Creek Lake and the Baker Cypress Trail for post-paddle exploration.
