Nothing beats time spent on the river with good people and a little adventure mixed in

Something new you might see on the McKenzie River this season 👀🗑️

The health and cleanliness of our river system matters, for all of us who rely on and enjoy this incredible resource. Help keep the McKenzie clean by carrying a clean-up bag or trash bag in your boat this season and packing out any litter you come across along the way.

You can now pick up free McKenzie River Clean-Up bags at various boat landings, community markets, and fly shops throughout the area.

This project is funded by the McKenzie Masters, a local non-profit organization, in partnership with the McKenzie River Guides Association.

A small effort from each of us goes a long way toward protecting the river we all love 💙

School’s almost out, sunshine is in, and adventure season is officially here ☀️🌊

Trade the screens for water fights, river waves, and memories your kids will still be talking about years from now. Whether it’s their first time rafting or a summer tradition, there’s no better place to make memories together than on the McKenzie River.

Summer dates are filling fast — make this one unforgettable 🚣

Not every river trip has to be whitewater 🌿

If you’re looking for a fun, easygoing adventure, or want to stay a little drier, our scenic sweep boat floats might be your perfect day on the river.

Ride high and comfortable on a padded bench seat while your guide rows the pontoon downstream with traditional sweep blades, one in front and one in back. Along the way, you’ll float through beautiful stretches of protected riparian habitat where wildlife and waterfowl thrive.

Depending on water levels, trips take place on either the McKenzie or Willamette River and last about 2–3 hours.

Calm water, great views, good company 🦫🐟
