from "Finding Oregon's Best" presenting Gallery 15b...
     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.
