There are a couple sites just off the highway between Shady Cove and the Crater Lake road that are wonderful. They are an easy walk from the parking lot too for us seniors with health issues. It is a gorgeous River and interesting area.
2. Natural Bridge Loop

A two-mile hiking path along the Rogue River in Southern Oregon.
Reviewed By csarchibald - San Marcos, United States
A short hike from the parking lot takes you to view an incredible natural phenomenon, where the Rogue River drops into a Lava Tube and pops up about 20 yards down stream. This creates an area where you someone could walk across a "Natural Bridge" (actually fenced off so you can't actually walk on it).

6. Medford Railroad Park

Reviewed By NedraParker
We love the railroad park. All ages can enjoy it. They are open to the public on a limited basis. Most all the times we have been there are for a private party or gathering. We went to a church BBQ there on Saturday where there were probably 200 people in attendance. They are also a great activity for Birthday parties or family reunions. They have multiple scale trains to be seen. There is a great train ride that our kids ride almost nonstop while we are there. The clubs are super friendly and love trains.
