Mckenzie River Corridor

Bureau of Land Management, Oregon.

The river visitor is apt to be rewarded in delightful ways while recreating in the cool, lush corridor, home to an array of fish and wildlife, and inspiring scenic beauty. The cold waters teem with prized fish and challenging rapids that test the skills of fishers, rafters, and kayakers alike. In the air, osprey and other birds of prey eagerly scan the waters looking for that satisfying meal of the day. On land, deer meander in search of cover and forage with seemingly abundant options from which to choose. Active sport or quiet contemplation find a natural fit among the flowing waters, cathedral-like forest, and rounded boulders positioned along the river like sentries on watch.
