Beautiful well maintains park
Eden Mullins
So beautiful. The camp sites are pretty close together, but the park is gorgeous and there's a very mild walk down to the river.
Kim Waller
Awesome spot to launch your float and enjoy the river. No fee to float. Also a nice spot to sit and have coffee in the morning and watch the birds fish. very quiet.
Jodie Purviance
Nice little park! River access, playground, day use and overnight camping. Clean and friendly. I will be going there often. Fishing and boat ramp available! It's a hidden gem.
Life's Good
The winter rains have totally changed the topography again at Whitehorse. As it has in many places throughout the Rogue River, yet this still remains one of the most beautifulest parks around definitely a charmer. They have a great boat ramp here. However, the waters are quick and swift and dangerous. The shore provides opportunity to fish off the bank, not as white as it used to be, but still decent bank. Further, in there is a beautiful children's playground. Bathrooms. Don't forget your day. use pass or pay your $5 very well maintained, clean park, here at Whitehorse.
