Review:
The Chetco River is a gorgeous rugged river stretching 56 miles throughout southwestern Oregon, flowing throughout the lands of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. It begins its course near Chetco Peak within the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, descending more than 3,000 feet to sea level at its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, large undeveloped portions of the river have been designated as a Wild and Scenic River. Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of recreational opportunities on the river throughout the year, including chances for salmon and trout fishing, swimming, and boating. Nearby, redwood forest areas offer excellent opportunities for hiking, picnicking, and camping at aras like Alfred A. Loeb State Park.
