Local life

Living in and visiting Merlin

Merlin is an unincorporated Josephine County community and a starting point for trips toward the lower Rogue River corridor. Local event locations should be checked carefully: a regional river outing can begin well beyond Merlin itself.

Josephine Community Transit lists Merlin on Route 80, alongside Grants Pass, Hugo, Sunny Valley and Wolf Creek. Consult the current timetable and service days. For county business and recreation access, use county departments and the BLM's current river information.
