The Applegate River Watershed encompasses 491,520 acres and drains approximately 15 percent of the Rogue River Basin. The Applegate River meets the Rogue River in the central valley segment of the Rogue River. The lower Rogue River (from the confluence of the Applegate River to the ocean) serves as a highway for all the anadromous fish species to reach interior Rogue River streams for spawning and rearing.
