WILD ROGUE
Welcome to Shotgun Creek Recreation Site!
The refreshing respite of a lush, forest setting, coupled with comforts normally associated with an urban park, blend
seamlessly at this popular day-use site. Here, one can become immersed in the enjoyment of the surrounding
hiking trails, swimming area, meandering creek, and picnicking units. The beautiful, well-equipped wooden shelters,
available by reservation, offer a fine place to celebrate a wedding, anniversary or birthday party. Whether seeking
trail solitude, a fun day of water play during the dog-days of summer, or the lingering memory of that very special
celebration, this special place awaits your arrival.
