Take a hike down the 1.8-mile Rainie Falls trail following a portion of the mighty and wild section of the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River. Oaks, madrones and a variety of verdant vegetation line this path to the falls. This short trail is cut on the opposite—but generally shadier—side of the Rogue River where it’s much longer cousin, the Rogue River National Recreation Trail traverses 40 miles from Grave Creek to Big Bend.

Know Before You Go:

• Parking is available opposite the trailhead in the pullout across Galice Road.
• No facilities are available at the trailhead or at Rainie Falls, but a vault toilet is located at the Grave Creek Boat Ramp, across the Grave Creek Bridge.

Point of Interest:

A little over a mile down the trail, look along the river side of the trail for remnants of a hexagonal suspension bridge abutment, built in 1908. The bridge washed out in 1927 and is evidence of the area’s rich mining history.
