McKenize River, Oregon - Guided Rafting Trips
Join us on the most popular whitewater river run near Eugene, Oregon. This is 10 miles of breathtaking scenery spiked by fabulously fun and challenging whitewater.
We will navigate the crystal clear waters flowing out of Oregon’s beautiful Clear Lake from Finn Rock to the Helfrich Boat Landing.
Your crew will enjoy the changes between quiet calm sections where you will see eagles, deer and river otters playing at the river’s edge and more thrilling sections where your team must work together to paddle through the best class II+ and III whitewater the McKenzie has to offer.
This is the perfect trip for you and your buddies and for families with kids ages 4 to 94.
What You Need
Dress with summer fun in mind. Most guests are happy in swim gear, a quick drying shirt, shorts, and sockless old athletic or water shoes. If you generally feel cold than add a layer for water shedding such as a raincoat and/or rain pants. We recommend no jeans/cotton clothing.
Directions/Shuttle
To get to the Finn Rock boat landing just drive east from Eugene up highway 126. At milepost 36 on the right you will see a concrete bridge leading across the river and down to the boat launch. I can also help you schedule a shuttle so your vehicle is at the take-out when the trip is over.
