McKenize River, Oregon - Guided Rafting Trips
Like many of you, we are devasted by the destruction of the 2020 Holiday farm wildfire that tore through Hwy 126 between Blue River and Vida. We've been able to scout our beloved McKenzie river day trip run and it is crushing to see the impacts to the landscape and river -- unrecognizable. The impacts on the watershed will continue with winter rain and snow. We are deeply saddened that we cannot provide guided trips on this river in 2021 and hope to find new day-trip options to share with you all in the coming months.
September
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.

Full-day trips launch around 9:30 a.m. end around 3:30 p.m. and include lunch -- cost $80/each guest .
