| River Permits & Lotteries |
|
In Oregon, portions of the Rogue, Deschutes and Snake rivers require either state or federal permits outside of any state registration requirements and regardless of type of boat used. The Marine Board does not manage these programs - see below links for details. These rivers often have equipment restrictions, and some may limit or prohibit power boat use during certain days or times of the year.
Deschutes River: Check here for the motorboat restrictions from June 15 through September 30. For information on permits, check the Oregon Parks boat permit web site here.
Snake River: Private powerboat reservations for both the Wild and Scenic sections of the Snake River in the Hells Canyon National Recreationa Area are required from May 24 through Sept. 10 of each year. To make reservations, call the Hells Canyon NRA Powerboat Reservations number at (509) 758-0270, M-F. You'll find more information here.
Rogue River: People interested in floating the Rogue River's Wild & Scenic section from Grave Creek to Watson Creek from May 15-October 15 must apply through a lottery. Lottery applications must be made during the first six weeks of each calendar year. Check the BLM website for lottery details and river regulations.
