My friend had her bachelorette with them and we had the absolute BEST time!!! Genesis was such an amazing and professional guide! She fit right in with all of us girls and felt like a friend by the end of the trip. I wished I lived in the area so I could do it again and again! 10/10!

These guys were AWESOME!! We were in town for our daughters softball tournament, and were looking for ideas on what to do in our down-time. We called these guys up, kinda last minute, and they made it happen!The rafting was really fun! We ended up with 3 boats, and to a person, everyone had a blast!! Super Duper Dave, Parker and Genesis (sp?) were great!!Thanks for making some great memories!!👍👍

We did a half day trip our guide was amazing and very patient and the day was beatiful. I was a little nervous since it was my first time going rafting but the guide was very reassuring. They had a cute bus to pick us up and drove about 20 minutes to drop off where they loaded raft into water. There were 4 other people also. They had photos and videos at the end for purchase. I would definitely recommend jefferson state outfitters over other companys. I cant wait to go again

You’ll have an amazing time!

Big shout out to the Generator for getting our 9 person boat down Powerhouse and Nugget in style! We also got some amazing photos taken of our group hitting the class 4s (thanks Kendall!).This truly was a day that the bridal party will never forget! Thanks JSO!!!

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR EXPERIENCE! I promise you don’t need to look any further for an awesome time white water rafting. Our guide Parker was super friendly, kind, hilarious, and thoughtful. We had a great time out on the river especially the exciting rapids! Don’t worry if you have zero experience. Parker made our adventure feel super safe with clear instructions and encouragement and even pointed out cool wildlife! We much appreciated the snacks, drinks, dad jokes, and fun. We will 100% be coming back!!! Go check them out!!!

David and Genesis are friendly and welcoming. We had a great time talking with them on the way to the ramp/launch.David is an excellent guide and raft navigator! He gave very clear and easy-to-follow instructions. Hes experienced on the perfect approach to the rapids. Our time on the river was the harmonious balance of excitement and calm relaxation while taking in the beautiful scenery.Genesis captured awesome moments of our time on the river! Were thankful that we had the option to purchase well-taken photos of the trip for long-lasting memories.We highly recommend you give Jefferson State Outfitters a try for your river rafting excursions.

Honestly this was an amazing heck of a ride and I would recommend anyone to come by! We had Dave as our guide and we actually got a call the night before upgrading us from the half day to full day adventure and that was a pleasant surprise! The owners also have this super cute dog and let you pet him.We took a bus from the park to the start of the river and it was really nice to end up where we parked since you float downstream.We started off the day with kayaking on class 2 rapids which weren’t too strong but still tossed us around and definitely got us wet! After a nicely prepared lunch and some down time we got to experience the powerhouse and nugget falls which was so so fun and thrilling and Dave does a great job doing fun things like dip the front and back of the boat directly in the water. We also did this really fun thing called Rodeo where we tried to balance on the raft for 8 seconds as it spun around — spoiler alert I failed.Thanks to Dave and Genesis for making this such an unforgettable journey and making our time in Medford so fun! They also offered photos and video for $20 at the end and we got some priceless memories!

Dave and the gang were rockstars! They provided a personal service than I could ever imagine with other competitors. All the good vibes with these friends made this experience so worth it! Definitely now looking forward to the next White River Raft adventure and I couldn’t have picked a better group to go with than JSO. If I’m ever down in the area again, hands down I’m rollin with this crew!If you wanna enjoy a fantastic time rafting some rapids, these are the dudes!

We had a fantastic day on the river: morning kayaking with Genesis guiding us, then afternoon rafting with Dave. Gen gave clear and helpful instructions on approaching any rapids and was also a terrific guide to the trees, shrubs, and birds we were seeing -- much appreciated. We are passionate about the natural world and learned a lot from her. We were in solo boats and loved the chance to experience more whitewater than we had done before. They gave us a nice lunch at noon in a beautiful shady spot, and then we switched into the raft to go down the bigger rapids. In case you are nervous: we were anxious too, having never done such big rapids, but Dave is super safe and experienced, and it didnt feel terrifying at all once we were in them -- just truly thrilling. Theres a strap to hold on to and a foot holder to keep you safely anchored to the boat. It helped that it was hot that day, so getting soaked felt great too :) Dave was very responsive when I initially phoned, answering all my questions, and he also sent a reminder text the night before. The photographer sent us beautiful photos of our trip down the rapids, a great memento of the day. Thanks, Dave and Gen!

We went on a two day one night trip, rafting, fishing, and concert on the rocks with Jefferson State outfitters! The guides were amazing, the food was so yummy, and lots of memories were made.

Sure wish could give Dave 10 stars!!!!My granddaughter (6 1/2), son, and myself (78) did a full day of rafting and then a half-day of fishing (granddaughter caught her first fish that was edible) this past week.So, so many adjectives I can use to describe Dave but here are a few; incredibly knowledgeable of his locale and equipment, infinite amount of sweetness and patience - consummate gentleman!!!If youre looking for any type of water adventure in and around Grants Pass, highly recommend Daves Jefferson State Outfitters and promise you will have an unparalleled, fantastic experience!!!

I can not say enough amazing things about my experience rafting on the rogue river with Jefferson State Outfitters. I can tell this group of guides not only know the Rogue River, but they also love what they do. Genesis lead our group today and she was fun, smart and made sure we all stayed above water! I cant wait to get back on the water with them.

We live in Eugene OR and had guests from far away and were trying to show them our beautiful state regardless of it being on fire.We rafted with Dave on September 12 and if anyone remembers how smoky it was, you would think “How terrible for us !” We all agreed that we would do our best to enjoy. Dave the owner of Jefferson State Outfitters not only gave us the best afternoon on the Rogue River but reminded us why we love Oregon so much. Our great outdoors and the wonderful people who are here because they recognize what a gift we have in Oregon make me so proud that this is my home. His expertise as a guide, his good nature, his ability to lead us safely was fun, exhilarating and full of excitement. We are so glad we chose him for this special day that we shared with special friends.

Dave and Genesis at Jefferson State Outfitters give the highest quality overall rafting trip in the Rogue Valley and have pin pointed the best area on the river to ride down safely while accommodating to everyone’s needs in the most badass way possible! The ride was the perfect length of time, and we even enjoyed the later hours of the day to raft in, not to mention great tunes on the bus ride there and back. We will definitely be back again soon for some kayaking adventures!

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!! Cannot recommend Dave and his team more - if you are in the area, this is a must book adventure that you will not regret! Dave is amazing and helpful, Genesis takes amazing photographs to document the crazy moments - and the rafting is amazing. We were a mix of first time and experienced rafters and they made sure that everyone enjoyed themselves - really great time. Thank you again, cannot wait for our next trip!

Mitch and David were such incredible guides. Felt like I was hanging out with friends and family. Mitch was my guide and was both highly informative about the Rogue river and rafting in general. But he also encouraged us to play, cut loose and still be safe and protected. Plus he has an incredible sense of humor and Arsenal of jokes for the River. Highly recommend going with Jefferson rafting all around.

These guys did a phenomenal job!Highly recommended, especially if this is your first white water rafting trip. My party comprised of two senior citizens, two college students, an eleven year old and my wife and me...AND we all had an unforgettable time. The option to go on kayaks for the half of the trip was CLUTCH and definitely recommend it!

Talk about a good time! If you are in the Rogue Valley and plan on doing any rafting, definitely give these guys a call. The guides had like a decade of combined experience in the area and made us feel comfortable and confident. Our guide Mitch cracked the funniest jokes and I could hear the laughter from the other boat ahead of us as well! We usually go several times a year and Ill be going with this company from now on!
