This Gallery
is... 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.
Just for fun, which wild and scenic river do you like the best?
