From whitewater thrills to peaceful fly fishing moments, we know what makes the McKenzie River special. See rafters navigate rapids, anglers land steelhead and redsides trout, paddle-boarders glide through crystal-clear water, and yes—dogs are living their best river life. Adventure looks different for everyone, and we're here for all of it.
See what awaits you on Oregon's legendary McKenzie River. From adrenaline-pumping rapids to peaceful golden hour paddleboard sessions, our videos showcase real adventures with real people—all ages, all abilities, even four-legged crew members. Whether it's your first time on the water or your hundredth, there's a place for you here.
At McKenzie River Fishing Guides and Rafting Tours, we routinely make modifications and accommodations that ensure access to outdoor recreation for all. In this video, a group of seniors enjoys running class II rapids, like Eagle Rock and Bear Creek, on the Finn Rock to Ben and Kay Doris Boat Landing section of the McKenzie River. Centrally located grab lines, middle seat placement, and selection of a gentle but playful route, make for an experience where everyone feels secure and has fun!
Xena and Hannah approve this message: the McKenzie is a dog's paradise. Watch our furry guides demonstrate proper river etiquette—riding rafts, paddleboards, drift boats, and the art of post-adventure naps. Your adventure buddy has four legs? Socialized, vaccinated, and has leash etiquette? Perfect. They're part of the crew.
