The Cause: The Rogue River Greenway is a gateway to our recreational corridor and described as an emerald necklace of parks, public access areas and water trails along the Rogue River linked by bicycle and pedestrian trails. The Recreational Corridor will span an area roughly 30 miles in length from the City of Grants Pass through the cities of Rogue River and Gold Hill and on to Central Point where it will connect to the existing 20 miles of the Bear Creek Greenway at Upton Road.

Upon completion this project will connect 8 Cities, 2 Counties, create over 50 miles of regional connectivity through Southern Oregon, and will provide economic, environmental, health, educational, transportation, air quality, and safety benefits. Improve the quality of life for Southern Oregonians and provide access to recreational resources for residents and the many tourists that visit Southern Oregon each year.
