Split map of the proposed Rogue River Greenway

**Click on thumbnail photos to enlarge.**

 

Please note that while we have numbered the following parts for ease of explanation, we are diligently working on all aspects of this project.  There is Trail Development, Parks Development and Water Trails Development all underway.  Additionally, it should be noted that until a feasibility study is complete these routes are subject to change.

Part One;
 
Linking Rogue River & Gold Hill Communities

Development of public access portal to Valley of the Rogue State Park at the Depot Street Bridge and Coyote Evans Wayside Park in the City of Rogue River.  The Greenway will parallel the Rogue River through the State Park to the camping area where the trail will swing out to the existing park roadway and follow through the park and rest area out onto Twin Bridges Road to North River Road.  At some point in the future it is anticipated that a loop along North River Road to Rogue River will be included and is indicated on the map in yellow.

 

From this point the Greenway will follow North River Road (a county maintained road) east to Del Rio Vineyards where there is another proposed emerald park on the river directly across from the Del Rio main building.  At Del Rio and Rock Point Bridge the roadway is now managed by Oregon Dept. of Transportation and is also a part of the Rogue/Umpqua Scenic Byway.  The Greenway will continue east to Sardine Creek Road to another proposed emerald park on the river and then continues into Gold Hill to tie in (at Patrick Elementary School) with the new construction for roads and bike lanes currently underway in downtown Gold Hill.

Note: this map shows using the Gold Hill Bridge to cross the river and alternative routes are being considered - see  map below.

 

Part Two;

Linking To The Gold Hill Trail Systems
 

In downtown Gold Hill we are anticipating two routes in which to link the Greenway to the existing Gold Hill trail that was just recently paved.  One access point would be to follow the trail to the Gold Hill Beach Park (one of the emerald parks) and develop a trail entrance adjacent to the stairs to the Beach Park, then under the Gold Hill Bridge and then tie into the paved trail on the other side. 

The second route  would tie in behind the Gold Hill Post office at the beginning of Hwy. 234 then continuing on up to the next emerald, the Gold Hill Sports Park.  The Greenway would continue up to the point where the Gold Hill Trail ends at the Gold Hill Diversion Dam and a Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge would be built over the river connecting to another emerald park on the Upper River Road side of the river.  Also under consideration is using the existing Gold Hill Bridge to cross the river to Upper River Road. 

Note: The Greenway is marked in red and Stars indicate Parks.

 

Part Three;

Linking To The Bear Creek Greenway

The Upper River Road portion of this Greenway offers some of the most beautiful scenery in the country.  Starting by the diversion dam on Upper River Road, the greenway follows the road to where the road bends and crosses the railway.  Here we have another proposed emerald on the river, one known for the white water rodeo and world class kayaking.  From here we are investigating options of using either the road, the rail and or private and public lands along Upper River Road.  In this section there are numerous other proposed emeralds on the river including a 74 acre property designated as County Park at Hardy Riffle. 

As Upper River Road ends not far past the Gold Rey Dam the Greenway will follow Tolo Road where we are proposing an emerald park at the Fort Lane Monument site and also at Tolo Slough.  The Greenway continues to Blackwell Road and to the Seven Oaks Interchange and Upton Road where it will link to the Bear Creek Greenway.

Please note that these are concepts and a final "Master Plan" has not yet been developed.
