About PermitsHow to get a Wild Rogue River Noncommercial Float PermitStep 1 - Apply to the Lottery Applications are taken by the Bureau of Land Management at the Smullin Visitor Center at Rand and successful parties are notified around the first of March. To determine when you should call for a certain date, simply count back 9 days from your preferred launch date, starting with the day before your launch date as Day #1. Although openings can occur at any time, this is the most likely way to obtain a permit. Those who have successfully made reservations are subject to the Conditions of Use (PDF) listed on the back of the permit. Additionally, if your trip was reserved more than three weeks prior to the launch date, a confirmation letter (PDF) is sent to the party leader with information regarding check-in procedures, river use guidelines, and other important reminders. If reserved within three weeks of the launch date, a letter will not be sent; however, information is distributed by phone at the time reservations are made and is also contained in the links provided above. No-shows happen when a party fails to pick up their permit on their launch date or a party shows up with fewer people in their party than listed on their permit. Day before cancellations occur before 3 p.m. on the day prior to launch, and are published on the website. These float openings are given out in the following manner: first to those signed up on the waitlist and in person at the Rand Visitor Center on the actual launch date at 7 a.m., and second to those persons who telephone us on the actual launch date at 8 a.m. Parties receiving no-show permits must launch their trips on that same day. The waitlist is maintained at the Rand Visitor Center. You must physically be present to sign up on the waitlist, and you can sign up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although you can sign up on the waitlist as many days in advance of your preferred launch date as you wish, you must also check in every single day at 7 a.m. leading up to the day of launch to maintain your position on the waitlist. |
