GALICE &
MERLIN, OREGON
The little hamlet of Galice-Merlin is
located northeast of Grants Pass and is the home base for many
outfitters and fishing guides. Known as the "Gateway To The Wild
& Scenic Rogue River." Close to the 84-mile segment of the Rogue
River set aside by Congress under the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers Act of 1968.
Hellgate Canyon is located nearby on
Galice Hwy where the famous "Jump" segment of the movie "Butch
Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" (starring Paul Newman and Robert
Redford) and many other Westerns were filmed. Above Merlin is
Grave Creek, the starting point for the 32 mile "wild" section
of the Rogue River.
Great white water rafting, fishing and
guided tours on the Rogue River are but some of the activities
available in the Merlin area. One of the best hiking trails
around is the famous Rogue River Wild and Scenic Trail which
starts at Grave Creek above Merlin and runs downstream 40 miles
through the Wild and Scenic section of the Rogue River to Foster
Bar.
For those who prefer out-of-water
activities there are numerous parks and trails. Rogue River
Hiking Trail leads you through the wild region of the Rogue on
the north bank, from Graves Creek to Marial.
