was reframed and constructed using both old timber framing and mod-
ern methods. The exterior is mostly done, now it’s time to work on the
inside. Folks look forward to shopping there once more, to buying flour
produced onsite—and more.

CROSSING THE UPPER ROGUE
Following an exploration of Eagle Point, it’s time to head north on
Crater Lake Highway to Shady Cove. Along the way, Crater Lake
Highway becomes part of the Rogue Umpqua Scenic Byway. The Table
Rocks, two flat-topped formations to the west, are just one of many
intriguing natural features on this 172-mile route from Roseburg to
Gold Hill.

As the Table Rocks fade into the background, the pleasant little town of
Shady Cove begins to appear. Here, you’ll discover a fun hodgepodge
of mom-and-pop shops that cluster around the downtown area. You
will also notice many signs for rafting trips. Two outfitters to check out
are Raft the Rogue (rafttherogue.com) and Rapid Pleasures Rafting
Co. (rapidpleasurerafting.com).

Before leaving, stop at the Shady Cove Market to pick up some picnic
supplies. They carry a great selection of freshly prepared deli items,
tempting bakery treats and more. This store also has a nice selection
of Upper Rogue region wines, including Crater Lake Cellars (based
in Shady Cove), Kriselle Cellars (White City), and Cliff Creek Cellars
(Gold Hill).
