In addition to the designated Wild and Scenic Rogue River, there are numerous suitable wild and scenic waterways in the Wild Rogue River canyon. All are tributary to the mighty Rogue and contribute important cold water to the mainstem that is critical for fish survival. As required by the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, these tributary streams have at least one outstandingly remarkable values, including fish (salmon and steelhead), recreation, scenic and/or historical. While each stream segment qualifies on its own as a potential unit of the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System, it recommended that all be comprehensively managed as part of the Lower Rogue Wild & Scenic River. The outstandingly remarkable values of the Lower Rogue (fish, recreation, historic, scenic, etc.) are dependent upon these tributary streams.

142.9 miles of Wild Rogue tributaries should be added to the lower Rogue River Wild & Scenic River system and be managed as an integral unit. Click here to view a map of the proposed Wild & Scenic additions and proposed Wilderness.
