The Mighty McKenzie is known for its sparkling clear water, class 3 rapids,
and drift boat fishing and rafting. This is the birthplace of the
McKenzie River Driftboat; even Theodore
Roosevelt enjoyed a long, smooth ride.
Fishing is a hobby, a passion, a constant event with the people who know
the McKenzie. You'll find fishermen, and fisherwomen, any where
...any time... many favorite spots are past the
Goodpasture Bridge.
This is the second longest covered bridge in Oregon (165 feet); it was
built in 1938.
The Blue River empties into
the McKenzie. The Blue River Reservoir is man's attempt to store
the winter floodwaters. This is a great spot for camping, boating,
swimming, water skiing and fishing for all ages.
There are many accessible boat launches like Bellinger
Landing. Above Bellinger, the river is stocked with planter
trout which makes good fly fishing.
