More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the bus at basecamp and the Rouge River is already speaking — gurgling, tumbling, daring you downstream. Inflatable rafts bob against a shoreline of sandbars; guides check gear with steady, practiced hands. The canyon tightens and the current finds its voice.
