Rogue River Access 10

River Access, Parking

This place is a bit rocky and uneven but provides a great river access. There are 2 river locations.

Note: Since this is a popular area for locals to recreate by day and night, it would probably be wise to not leave your gear sitting or floating near the access. Some members are floating their gear further up river and tying it off overnight where it is not visible from the road access points.

Rogue River Access 11

River Access, Parking, Bathrooms, Tables

This location has small, shady, lots of trees for parking. The trail to the water is narrow and steep, but it is an actual maintained trail.

Note: There is another area between #11 and #13 called “Gold Nugget Wayside.” We did not place it on our map or take any pictures there. It has parking only, and a footpath to the water. But it is just 4/10 mile past #11, so the location could be used for parking if you decide to dredge up that way.

Rogue River Access 12

Starting at the end of the white fenced ranch, but before the RR tracks, you drive off the paved road onto a dirt road that runs parallel to the RR tracks.

This is a wonderful and gorgeous place. The water is fierce, calm and fast, has bedrock and lots of beach rock jutting out and even has whitecaps – it’s everything all in one. There are remnants of old water diversion structures still in place in this area (see image). Terrain is bumpy to drive in, but only for a very short distance. Carrying in a dredge will involve some work through skinny walkways and trails. But once to the water, there is plenty of flat ground and beach to set up on. Gorgeous!

My 2010 Gold Totals from Dredging! – Alan Mash

 Rogue River Mining Opportunities
Nov 232011
 

Note: Oregon Now Has Placed a Moratorium on Motorized Prospecting!

Rogue GoldWell, here’s my total gold from dredging in Oregon — what a blast I had!

My total was 9.5 ounces of beautiful gold!

I had some people from one of the Internet gold forums ask “how” I found that much gold…

Here was my answer:

Well it was prospecting, prospecting and then more prospecting to find some rich pockets. I moved around a lot. I moved around so much that after June, I did not even tie my dredge to shore while dredging. I just dragged it wherever I felt like going with my nozzle while under water — even out into the gut of the Rogue River without a line to shore. I was “free” to prospect wherever!

I tied my dredge off to shore over night.

Basically, if you want a “how to” answer, I learned most of how I prospect from The New 49er’s Club.  So if I have to give credit it will be to Craig Colt who taught me a whole lot while working with him on his 8″ dredge a few years back. And of course the remainder I learned from Dave McCracken either directly or indirectly and other 49’er members.

The 49’ers are so valuable at learning gold mining, it would be hard to be without the membership and the members.

So out of the 90 days that were available in the season, I dredged about 70 of them. It would have been more if it were not for a death in the family (flew back to Atlanta), and I also lost some days when they removed the Gold Ray Dam.

Its really all about finding high-grade gold and mining it and then moving on to find more when it is exhausted.

It was a wild Summer in Oregon for sure! Got to heal up for next Summer.

I hope to see you guys out there!

This is a park right in town. We suggest it is a good idea to launch there and then float your dredge up or down river some distance to avoid disturbing the popular beach area.

Rogue river access 16

River Access, Parking, in a wayside pull-off just a short distance down the road

This is a steep river access, with a good place to park for the day. The grounds are brown but cut, with some shade trees. The access is steep and rocky. At the water, there is no beach and minimal landing – just enough to step off into the water.

The location is just downstream of the town of Gold Hill, on Lampman Road, which is between the river and Interstate 5 (exit 40). It is not hard to find. This is a day use area, only. Local officials are not allowing camping in this location.

River Access, Boat Launch Ramp, Parking, Bathrooms, Grills, Tables, Showers, Tent Camping, Full Hookups, Yurts, Playground

This is a big park which has everything. Some members will surely want to camp here. There is a rest stop area (off Interstate 5) at the entrance of the park. The rest area is separated from the camper’s area. There is also a fee area inside the park. The boat launch area is immediately adjacent, but outside of the park; so you could launch from there and park your truck at your campsite. The water is very fast and wide here.

The park has a dump station for RV campers, and has about 5 “loops”, organized for RV’s, tents etc. The tented areas almost seem to be more spacious than the RV areas. We saw 4 deer just while we checked out the area! We understand you are allowed to put 1 tent plus 1 RV in a single RV space in this park.

This seems to be a favorite launch area for local river users. It is very spacious and has a picnic area, lots and lots of parking (about 100 spaces), 2 boat launch areas, a bank of horseshoe pits (see image) and a Visitors Center is right there.
