Does anyone on here have much experience on the Rogue River? Looking at Gold beach to Forster Bar (Agness area).

I will be "that guy" that keeps the old thread going since OP seems to be traveling and looking for other places, and others may benefit. Idaho lakes.
Owyhee Reservoir is an awesome lake with lots of solitude. Jet boats can make it further up lake into the inlet, but obvious caution is needed(shifting sandbars and other low water hazards).
Cascade and Payette are great high mountain lakes(5k ft above sea level) but are fairly heavily trafficked. Beautiful valley nestled in the mountains.
Dworshack is right up there on my list but you really have to want to get there.
The obvious N Idaho lakes as well.Priest, Pond Oreille, and Couer d Alene. Lots of rivers to run to but as mentioned back on page 1, aluminum boats, HP, and more importantly someone to follow that knows the river so you dont find rocks.

We boat mostly on Lake Washington. A little out on the Puget Sound, mostly close to Seattle as we access it through the Ballard Locks. We have boated a little on the Columbia River usually somewhere behind one of the dams.

Bumping this thread looking for a recommendation!
Last year was my first season boating and we boated exclusively on Lake Washington.This year, however, I'm wondering about towing the boat down to the lower Columbia. There's a spot near Cathlamet with launches at Vista Park near a family property. We get together there with friends every summer and I would like to bring the boat for some surfing, tubing, etc... if this spot in the river is decent for that.
I know there's a shipping channel there but the launch I'm thinking of is in a little slough, where I think I could retreat if a massive container ship was coming by.
Has anyone ever boated there? Any issue with water sports on that section of the Columbia - like logs, etc...? Would it be better to go to the other side of Puget Island (the other red circled area)?

Been eyeballing this area for a couple of years now. My parents live on Germany Creek and I've checked out the boat launch just outside of Longview this winter just to pump myself up to give it a go. Lot's of fishing goes on and obviously the freighters use the channel so I don't see a problem other than sand bars and shallow flats between islands LOL. Hopefully we find the chance to hit it this summer.
Not an answer to your question really.....just got excited to see someone else with the same ponderings.
