This option is an additional $10 per person. Groups separating and wanting to return at different times need prior approval.
We do our very best to stay on schedule but various factors affect the unique nature of our boat shuttles punctuality, including river traffic. Yes, at times traffic jams on the river are a thing! Your patience is much appreciated.

Please support our affordable family friendly Ole’ Chinook Bar & Grill! If you have dietary restrictions and would prefer to bring your own items please do so in a small personal cooler or cooler bag. Medium to large coolers will now be denied boarding. All items are transported at your feet (similar to the space available in an airplane)by boat and have the potential of getting wet. Do not bring your own alcohol.
The park has shaded tables/chairs throughout and are first come first served. Guest can also reserve a shade canopy or private pavilion in prime locations. These can be reserved during the booking process as an add on.

Boat lake rentals are not included with ticket purchase and are first come first served once you arrive at the Discovery Park. Rentals are done in 30 min increments at the following prices: Tubes $5, paddle boards, kayaks, and canoes are $10, our new electric Go Boats $15-$20, fishing poles $5. Swimming is very popular and done at your own risk with no lifeguard on duty. Lake water is around 70-80 degrees, while river swimming is a refreshing 60! Of course, life jackets are available for all water activities.
You can bring your own inflatables (tubes and floaties) but please DO NOT bring inflatable paddle boards as boat space is very limited and this affects others experience.

OTHER HELPFUL TOUR INFO
Participating in an activity with us requires a digital waiver completed for each person. This is sent to you by text, in your reservation confirmation, and reminders to email on file. Please have all waivers signed before arriving for tour.
All activities start and end at Touvelle State Park: 8601 Table Rock Rd. Central Point, Oregon 97502. There will be no directional signage once inside State Park. Instead, look for the big gravel parking lot to the left as soon as you enter the Park. Park and walk down to river’s edge where our boat loading ramps are. Staff will arrive and start check in process 20 mins before departure. We load boat next to the bridge. Please car pool. Any auto entering the State Park is required to get a $10 self-pay parking pass by cash or check. This is paid to the State Park at the self -pay ticket booth at the entrance to Touvelle, and not to Rogue Jet Boat Adventure’s staff.
Arrive 20 minutes early for check in. Reserving the front row is not available but we do take special requests at check in. First in line does not mean front row. The captain has the final say of where your group sits for even weight distribution and keeping all safe. The back rows are reserved for families with kids, the elderly, or those that are pregnant. Loading the boat requires either making wide steps over the rows of seats or sitting down on a row and swinging legs over rows. The State Park has plenty of easy motorhome and RV parking next to where we load our boats. As with any public place please secure valuables. There are Porta Potties available within the State Park and of course at the Discovery Park.
All ages require a ticket please. Infants are not recommended because light to heavy water is to be expected on your boat at any time and this activity includes spins. If you decide to bring your infant they will be fitted for a lifejacket. Ages 12 years and younger are required to wear a lifejacket by law, and by law we must supply a certain kind for our boats. You are welcome to bring your own lifejackets to use once at the Discovery Park.
Animals are NOT allowed on the boat. We work with the amazing Krazy Kritters Pet Sitting company just 10 minutes from us! https://www.krazykritterdogwalking.com/ 541-678-0570. Prices are between $25 and $50 depending on service, for two dogs.

This is by far the BEST jet boat experience that we’ve ever been on. For years we went on jet boats from a Grants Pass business, not knowing about Rogue Jet Boat Adventures in Central Point. We’ll never go anywhere else! The trips are beautiful, fun, exciting, informative and YES! You get wet!! Really well run, organized local family business that has awesome staff. Special shout out to Nick, our most recent captain. Can’t wait for our next adventure, the Concert at the Rocks. Not only do they have the most awesome jet boat rides, there is a private island ( really chill) and live music concerts. It doesn’t get any better than this. so much fun!
