McKENZIE
RIVER RAFTING

TRIPS OFFERED DAILY -
April - September
Half and One day trips

The McKenzie, with its crystal clear water banked by lush forests, is ideal both for an introduction to river running, or an exhilarating trip for the experienced.

Full Day Upper:
If you are seeking excitement with exhilarating action, you have found it on the Upper McKenzie. This stretch is narrow, the pace is fast, and the whitewater is continuous. You will be part of the team as you assist your guide in paddling through thrilling rapids. Join us and enjoy the exciting ride! A delicious deli-style lunch will be prepared riverside. For this fun filled day of rafting, meet at Forest Glen Boat Landing at 10:00 a.m.

Half Day Upper:
The half day trip is a short version of our full day upper trip, traveling less distance, but includes the most exciting rapids. Lunch is not included. For dollars and time invested, this trip cannot be beat. 10:00 morning trips and 1:30 afternoon trips meet at Bruckart Boat Landing off Highway 126 and Road 19.
