Summer moonlight floats are very romantic. End your fishing or rafting trip at a popular take-out spot just a few minutes away and walk back to your room at the Shady Cove Edgewater Inn. 

Stay another day and get in a round of golf at nearby Eagle Point Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.  

After your 'grueling' day on the links or on the river, swim in the pool, relax in the spa, enjoy a delicious meal at one of the local restaurants and prepare for your next day's adventure. 

On to Crater Lake National Park to see the sparkling blue water and breathtaking scenery.

Take a boat tour of the lake or hike some of the park's many trails. 

Continue your journey along the Rogue Umpqua National Scenic Byway and experience all the natural splendor of the Upper Rogue Region.

Every year thousands of Gray Whales migrate past the Oregon Coast from the Bering Sea to the warm waters of Baja. Whale watching peak times are December through May, but we also have "resident whales" who summer off our coast and leave in autumn. This allows for whale watching almost year round.
