The Oregon State Marine Board passed new rules for boat operations on the Upper Rogue River during its quarterly January 23rd Board meeting. The rules go into effect on February 1, 2025.
Temporary signs will be installed by January 31 at the following boating access sites:
- Fishers Ferry County Park
- TouVelle State Park
- Dodge Bridge County Park
- Takelma County Park
- Upper Rogue Regional County Park
- Rogue Elk County Park
- Casey County Park
- McGregor Park Boat Ramp
Permanent signs with graphics outlining specific rule segments on the river are in development and will replace the temporary signs by the spring.
The Marine Board will ramp up education and outreach efforts during the first year of rule implementation.
