Q20 - Motor boats, including jet boats, are allowed on this section of the Rogue River. The state park system has no role in setting those rules. We are interested in allowing a local business to pick up and drop off jet boat customers under an agreement with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Is this a good fit for TouVelle? How could this affect your use of the park, or your use of the section of the river inside the park? What controls do you think should be written into the agreement to protect the river and neighbors outside the park boundary?

97526NNever/can't recalltrueIts awesomeI can't remember if I were there are not5555555All boats should be paddle boats. The tours should go up river paddling as hard as they can.

97470noneOctober 2022 to todaytruetruetruetrueThe boat launch was nice. Fishing is excellent up from boat ramp and down.
Jet boats traveled up and down the river. The walk-in access point was crowded with people using the jet boats, and I didn't see folks paying the daily fee it costs to attend or use the park.
Remove the commercial Jet boat operations and restore the park for the public to use. It has changed the river experience and has made me less likely to travel down and use the park, pay the fee, and spend money down in Jackson County.
3323322Yes5truetruetruetruetrueI think there is a user limit for this section of the river. This opens up a significant issue with regulations, and not allowing commercial jet boat tours is a great idea to help limit the impact to the upper Rogue River. It is a significant threat to imperiled salmon and steelhead operations. There will be dredging that will need to occur, and other major environmental issues that will arise. This operation mustn't be allowed to continue.

97504October 2022 to todaytrue
It just seems that more often than not there is a different dynamic there. Littering, drinking, yelling,etc. People don’t get out of the way once they’ve put their boat in.

I am always against any motorized boats on our beautiful Rogue River so I guess that you know my opinion.
The new people that you want to bring are the rowdy action kind of people they’re not the pensive kind of people that want to have solitude so that ruins the entire river. Don’t we have enough yippie fun stuff that people can do somewhere else?

Can we not save any part of nature for just blending in with nature instead of making our mark?

There are few swimming areas, particularly as rhe droughts affect emigrant lake ans howard prairie we will need improved outdoor swimming access for kids and families and improvements in those areas are likely more intetesting to my my family and friends than jet boats.

32
97504October 2022 to todaytruetruetrueIt was peaceful and quiet435555Yes4truetruetruetruetrueThis is not a good fit. The nature and serenity are a commodity at TouVelle. The profits of an individual business owner are not more important than park access, habitat restoration, and peaceful recreation for the entire community. No to Jet Boats!
33

I am all for income generation, but how much of an impact, financial, environmental and otherwise will the required upgrades make? How will this company avoid the impact on other recreators that Hellgate Jetboats were notorious for in 90's and 00's?

Maybe limit the number 15-20...that may even be too many. Not sure, but perhaps between certain hours????
People need to pick up their own trash and after their dogs!!!!!
37
April-June 2022truetrueTake out415434Yes5truetrueNo, they already have access
38
97503October 2022 to todaytruetruetrueThe park is very clean and our dog loves to walk, sniff and "swim" when we take him.
I do wish that people who booked sites to have picnics would do a better job cleaning up after themselves. It should not be the parks responsibility to pick up after them, I think it is very disrespectful on the patrons behalf.

Otherwise I really enjoy visiting TouVelle.
I am unsure how to answer this question, overall I am pleased with what the park has to offer.5444555Yes5truetruetruetruetrueIt depends on where this would be allowed within the park. I believe there is space for this at the park, my thought would be (if possible) to put this behind the big gathering area that is to the left right once you enter the park. The grass to the water is an underutilized space whereas towards the end of the park is already "crowded" with stuff for people to do. i.e. picnic tables, swimming and nature trails.

Controls: I think a time limit, or certain times of day the boats are allowed to come. I think that is reasonable because they probably already have a schedule they run on. Those schedules should be made available to park visitors as well.
39
97504October 2022 to todayWeddingBeautiful and Clean ParkNothingMore activities for kids, or a park. Water park.5355355Yes5truetruetruetrueNo cause then it takes a spot on river access away from the customers
40
97520July-September 2022truetruetrueIt was lovely and quiet midweek.I wouldn't change anything.4003033Yes4truetruetruetrueI feel that this park is for the community to use not a private for profit business. Parking would become more difficult. I also think it would be crowded and not a quiet place to enjoy the river.
41
97520December 2021 or earliertruetruetrueThe river, riparian area, and nature trails were wonderful.Nothing. It was great!Really good playground???3043054Yes3truetruetrueHaving a motor boat concessionaire at the park would certainly increase motor boat traffic along the adjacent section of the river. I explicitly avoid visiting bodies of water that I know will have lots of motorized boats (stinky, loud, unpleasant to be around). I would surely not visit Tou Velle park during the jet boat season ever again if a jet boat station were installed there. Please don't increase jet boat traffic.
42
97526January-March 2022truetrue
I enjoyed the peaceful river habitat. Getting in the river for fishing makes a person feel connected to the river and habitat
Didn't catch any fish :(4040044Yes4truetruetruetrueCommercial jet boats would completely ruin the experience at the park. It would bring noise, pollution, trash, people who don't really appreciate the river environment, and congestion.

45
97501October 2022 to todaytruetrueEverything was fineDidn’t catch any fish!Added security to parked vehicles. I’ve been broken into more than once.3233Yes5truetrueI have nothing against jet boats, I’ve owned several. But the current business makes too many trips per day. It is disruptive to everyone on the river and damaging to salmon and steelhead spawning areas as well as the river banks, especially during low water times with that large and heavy of commercial jet boat. It is a disrespect to see a company commercialize and profit off an area of a public resource that is already struggling.
46
97501December 2021 or earliertruetrueBeautiful locationN/aJet boats would be a great addition to Medford.5334Yes3truetruetrueI think bringing jet boats to Medford would be fantastic. I would visit more frequently if this was the case.
47
97527December 2021 or earliertruetrueNot crowded. Quiet place to have a group picnic just outside town.More defined trailsSpecific walking trails along river.4343223Yes3truetruetrueI don’t feel jet boats are a good fit for TouVelle as the park seems more of a quiet place to picnic, play horseshoes and enjoy fishing the river.
I also feel the noise of Jetboats so close to the Denman wildlife area is a conflict. I live near the river between Grants Pass and Rogue River and jetboats noise carries a long distance. Would rather support Dodge Bridge for Jetboat activity.

Tables could be updated. I worry if jet boat concession is aloud it will take away or interfer with the enjoyment we enjoy there, the quiet, the wildlife, not a lot of people. We do not have many parks left that we can enjoy and with fewer people available to police the park people will get rowdy, drinking, loud music.
32343Yes4truetruetrueI do not think this park is a good fit. Do not allow bands, drinking, or before/after party to be available when dropping off or picking up customers.

I just enjoy the park, it is well kept and as a native Rogue Valley Gal I have many memories in the park

I do wish that maybe there could be a fenced dog area toward the back of the park. I know there is one on the other side of the river at the boat launch but it is so covered In star thistle and burrs I don't like going there.

72
97530July-September 2022truetruetrueMany friendly people, good fishing, and clean well maintained trails.
We were fishing near the bridge and had to stop every time a jet boat went by. And as they came and went from the other side of the park. It was distracting, seemed to be causing extra erosion and disruption to the sides of the river at the shore due to the big waves.
I believe the tranquility of the park can be better preserved by not allowing the jet boats to have a concession at the park. There are other opportunities for jet boats in Grants Pass, and it does not serve the wildlife of the general community to have the tourist attraction ruining the park.
5454454Yes5truetrue
I think allowing a jet boat business to use the park for drop off and pick ups will overall negatively affect the park. By and large, the jet boats are a tourist attraction that, other than for that concessionaire, does not bring in other revenue to the area, probably puts a burden on the trash and restroom situation at that area of the park and destroys the peaceful and serene setting of the park along the Rogue. If the business is allowed to continue to use the park, a speed limit should be instituted within the borders of the park as large waves from the boats are destructive to the bank, wildlife, fishermen/women and families playing along the shore.
73
97501July-September 2022truetrueBeautiful Scenery, and walk along the river
The paved path along the river was way too short, and in very poor condition. My son uses a wheelchair, and it was difficult
update/lengthen the path along the river. It would be nice to be able to walk the length of the park next to the river4334014Yes5truetruetruetrueYou have not outlined the details of the proposal clearly. I don't know if the boats would be docked there? This may affect the views.

You mention pick up and drop off, does that mean the customers and staff park somewhere else, or would be bused in? This would affect parking

The main concern is the noise of the jetboats, and also how their wake/engines would affect fishing at the park, and non-motorized craft in the water.

Touvelle is a beautiful spot to fish, and I often made the hour plus drive from the Applegate Valley to visit.
On many occasions, jet boats tear through the park, one after another, ruining the fishing opportunity. I can only imagine they're severely impacting critical marine habitat.
I think the park is nicely set up.4444554Yes4truetruetrueI don't mind pickup/dropoff, but I definitely don't want to see more jet boats on that stretch of the river than there already are.

97527selfDecember 2021 or earliertruetrueBeautiful area, scenic and peaceful.a few instances of dog poop beside the trail, but otherwise it was lovely.adding some equestrian trails would be fantastic, especially if they can tie in with trails at Denman.

Please do NOT add a jet boat concession. That seems like SUCH a terrible idea.
4003044Yes4truetruetrueI think this is a terrible idea. The noise from jet boats coming and going, especially taking off, would be extremely disruptive to the peace and beauty of the park. I feel strongly it would negatively affect all other users. I probably would not visit the park again if this jet boat operation is allowed in the park. I know from dining at the Taprock restaurant in Grants Pass that the noise from the jet boats is intensely disruptive. Please do not do this!

Although I like the crew and appreciate their business I feel the boat activity is incredibly hard on the fishery. I have been observing the jet boats for 3 seasons now. The impact on the river is substantial. The boat activity is continues and a disruption. The disruption creates a constant turmoil to the river bed especially when running off the main channel up adjacent or parallel streams..the boats take short cuts for crowd fun and one should watch the outflow afterwards. Sport fishing is also part of our Southern Oregon Life style and I'm grateful to have an opportunity to foice this opinion.

I really enjoyed the quite and the sound of the River as it flowed by. I didn’t catch any steelhead but the main reason I fish is to enjoy the solitude and appreciate the natural environment.
Catching a steelhead.
I’d remove the pay booth. Allowing people to use the park (excluding groups) without fees would: 1) better serve and 2) bring new people into the park. I would also recommend expanding the trail network (including maps of trails in the adjacent Denman Wildlife Area) and provide more interpretive signs.
4340044Yes4truetrueI don’t think it is a good fit. Gasoline powered boats are noisy and their exhaust stinks. The State Parks should only promote activities that don’t directly lead to increased GHG emissions. If the jet boats were powered by electricity, that would reduce my opposition but I’d still be concerned about the associated noise.

It was plesant day, but the fishing was not what it used to be. The river flows since Lost Creed Resevoir was put in have changed dramatically. Summer Steelhead used to come up the river and hold up in holes during the day them move up river probably at night. I used to fish those holes. Since the dam the river flow is kept too hign and steady and the holes have filled in with grael. Summer steelhead is just not as fun as it used to be. Before the dam I used to fish in shorts and teinnis shoes and could wade completely across the river in some places. I feel jet boats change the nature of the river. I am not in favor of commercial use of jet boats in the upper river.
more fishThe cost seems to limit occasional use. I know there is the annual pass, but it is still a lot for fixed income senior citizens.3333333Yes3truetrueI guess it will make money for the county, but is that the purpos of the park? I used to go there to study or read a book, now it is not worth the fee unless there is some sort of event. I am not generally in favor of comercializing a park. I would vote no.

97539July-September 2022truetrueNothing.33523Yes4trueNO!
At upper section of the rogue, above dodge bridge is nesting, habitat for salmon and steelhead both. Considering that much of it is very shallow, particularly in the summer months when jet boats would be doing the most trips, it is not a good fit.

The additional wear and tear on to the river bank via erosion, would not benefit the clarity of the river overall anyway.
No commercial jet boats!
99
97504July-September 2022truetruetrue4044034Yes5I don't think my experience would be enhanced in any way by increasing traffic for the jet boats. Indeed, they are the most challenging to work with while enjoying the river with my little kids in the water between the noise and the waves. More physical car traffic to the park would be unhelpful for finding parking and picnicking places inside.

Gentle water for kids and animals, well- kept trail system, wild life viewing, plenty of space to hang out comfortably
Ticks! But I'd rather be vigilant than picnic & play among pesticides.
I'd have to vote against having motor boats on the river there. My kids grew up taking fields trips to Touvelle at the start and end of every school year, from ages 5-11. The curriculum was richly supported by that park, and their love of nature and sense of place in the world was firmly rooted through those recurring experiences. The safety of the park is what made those fields trips possible, and I expect many families would agree regarding their own time at the park with kids (and pets).
3344334Yes4truetruetruetruetrueHunting for agatesSee above, and it seems this arrangement would commercialize the park to an extent. This would definitely encourage me to go elsewhere for the serenity I currently enjoy at Touvelle.
