It is home to the wild and scenic Rogue River, which draws visitors for its world-class white-water rafting and fishing opportunities. Historically, the forest area has been inhabited by native tribes and used during the gold rush, leaving a legacy seen through historically significant sites scattered throughout the region. Outdoor activities here are abundant, with numerous hiking trails, prime wildlife viewing, and challenging mountain biking routes. Notable landmarks include the Devil's Punchbowl, a naturally carved rock formation, and the Oregon Caves National Monument.
