1950's Mail Boat Tour










.

Jet boat the ‘Historic Mail Boat Route’ just as Rogue River pioneers have done since 1895, when road access did not exist. We are one of the few remaining Mail Boats in the nation, and still deliver the mail to Agness, 32 miles upriver, on a daily basis. No whitewater here. Just a beautiful day on the Rogue River spotting wildlife, sharing history, and family fun.


All tours leave from the Port of Gold Beach, located on the southern shore of the Rogue River. Tours will begin loading 15 minutes prior to scheduled departure time, so please arrive a minimum of 20 minutes in advance.


The Historic Mail Route tour will have a meal break in the town of Agness (2 hours from departure).


Provided meal at Cougar Lane Lodge is a BBQ Plate that includes Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Muffin, Baked Beans, & Coleslaw. (Vegetarian options available upon request at lodge).

*All tour rates are subject to a 5% booking fee to cover USFS special use permit fees and USCG licensing fees. Additional fees may apply for overnights or high demand dates.
