My family and I had a wonderful time with Rogue Jet Boat Adventures! We learned a lot about Rogue River history, including many things that were new to me even though I live less than two hours away. The trip was conducted in a highly professional manner, and the guide was knowledgeable and accommodating to anything the guests needed. I would very much recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun activity for a morning or afternoon.
4. Natural Bridge Loop
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 108 reviews
A two-mile hiking path along the Rogue River in Southern Oregon.
Reviewed By piratejani - Jacksonville, Oregon
Between Medford and Bend or Crater Lake, drivers pass by Prospect and soon the a cathedral of trees lining the highway. Before Union Creek there is Natural Bridge. A wheelchair accessible pathway takes visitors across the raging rogue river so that visitors can see the tunnels and caves created by the Rogue. A MUST SEE.

Full service Cheese Shop and specialty grocery. Grilled Cheese sandwiches, beer, cider, and root beer on tap. Experience the living history of this small Oregon cheese factory.
Reviewed By Linda B - Concord, California
Holey Cow cheese is made in Paso Robles, California, but isn't easy to find in the East Bay Area. Rogue Creamery has it! They also have cheese curds, great for making poutine. Wonderful blue cheeses? Yup, they have great ones. If you want great cheese, this is the place for you. I just wish it wasn't hundreds of miles from home.
6. DANCIN Vineyards

DANCIN is a love story. It is the marriage of science and art. The pairing of delicious food and fine wine. And the sincere passion of Dan and Cindy. DANCIN is a family owned, artisan producer of Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Barbera and Port from a collection of three unique vineyards cradled along the forested foothills just above the gold rush community of Jacksonville, Oregon. Situated in the vineyard, and located just minutes from Ashland and Medford, our Tasting Room is the perfect setting to drink in the views of Table Rocks, Mt McLoughlin and the Rogue Valley while savoring our selection of fine wines, artisan wood-fired pizzas and much more, tableside! You are cordially invited to experience the genuine hospitality, community and relaxation of DANCIN! DANCIN was selected as the “2017 Oregon Winery of the Year” by Wine Press Northwest and shortly thereafter voted “The Very Best Winery of 2017” by Southern Oregon Magazine.

My husband is the knowledgeable wine person in our home, but I share his love of Dancin Winery. He is a pinot noir lover, and it doesn't get any better than Dancin in the Rogue Valley for him. We are wine club members, and we always feel like we are treated as special guests by Dan and Cindy. Love to go to dinner there and have a pizza and glass of good wine. An exceptional place!

This is some of the best chocolate on the West Coast. I have traveled up and down the west coast and stopped at many high-class Chocolat shops and this one definitely is my number one choice. The Staffing is great, they are very kind and willing to help you with anything that you need and also will sample you anything that you want to try before you buy. If you're in the area stop on in and enjoy some of Southern Oregon's best chocolates!

When you step into the train park, your mind will be transformed back to the old times. A much simpler time. You can even have a message sent over Morse code from one park location to another. You can ride the miniature trains around the miles of groomed track that shows how beautiful and majestic the Pacific Northwest is. This is a very special place to all the locals, as we rode these trains growing up and now it's time to let our kids enjoy.

10. Applegate Lake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 53 reviews
A reservoir which offers many outdoor activities.
Reviewed By amtaxidermy - Medford, Oregon
Lived in the Valley throughout my life. Upon a recent trip up to Applegate. We found the place littered with trash and disrespectful people with bad attitudes in different locations @ the lake. If you are seeking a clean, friendly, respectful environment. I am sad to say. The Applegate Lake area falls short of a good experience. A group of @ middle aged males, approached us in a threatening manner, as we were picking up litter, about one of the vacant campground areas. As we were ones, that were doing the wrong. Quite alarming at what we came across. Be aware out there, should you go.
