Float ETA estimates how long this float actually takes from live discharge at USGS 14372300 (Rogue River nr Agness), not a guidebook average. At a typical 2,200 cfs, a raft drifts about 3 mph here. Higher flow speeds you up; skinny water slows you down. Kayaks run faster than the current, tubes slower. Add your own total time for stops and fishing.
This is a multi-day wilderness float. Plan shuttles, permits, and camps — the calculator shows total hours on the water, not a same-day take-out.
The Rogue River (Wild & Scenic) listing covers 34 river miles across 1 access-to-access stretch (Class III–IV). Times in the table are typical raft hours at that reference flow. Open the live calculator for today's CFS, sunset take-out, water temperature, and rain/UV at the put-in.

| Put-in → take-out | Miles | Difficulty | Typical raft time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grave Creek → Foster Bar | 34 mi | Class III–IV | ~11 hr 20 min | BLM permit lottery in the main season. Most boats line or run the fish ladder at Rainie Falls. Scout Blossom Bar — it is the serious one. |
How we time this river
Speed scales with discharge using hydraulic geometry v ∝ Q0.34, calibrated to this gauge. That is why a 1,000 cfs afternoon is a different day than 3,000 cfs runoff. Always scout, wear a PFD, and check the Oregon State Marine Board for closures. Gauge page: USGS 14372300.
Common questions
How long does it take to float Grave Creek to Foster Bar on the Rogue River (Wild & Scenic)?
About 11 hr 20 min in a raft at a typical 2200 cfs. Kayaks run a bit faster; tubes run slower. Add your own stop or fishing time in the planner. BLM permit lottery in the main season. Most boats line or run the fish ladder at Rainie Falls. Scout Blossom Bar — it is the serious one.
What USGS gauge is used for Rogue River (Wild & Scenic) float times?
Float ETA uses USGS gauge 14372300 (Rogue River nr Agness) for live discharge. Speed is scaled from a reference 2200 cfs drift of about 3 mph.
Is the Rogue River (Wild & Scenic) a good tube float?
Tubes lag the current (we use a 0.72× speed multiplier). This listing includes Class III or harder water — rafts and experienced paddlers, not tubes.
