The McKenzie River Trail (MRT) ranks among the most beloved trails in the country, and it’s easy to see why! Spanning over 25 miles, this stunning trail showcases breathtaking scenery, including picturesque waterfalls and unique lava beds. It’s perfect for mountain bikers and hikers with intermediate skills, offering excitement and natural beauty. Our shuttle service simplifies your trip to allowing you to focus on enjoying the adventure rather than worrying about gear transport. Just meet us at Horse Creek Lodge, and we’ll handle the rest!

How It Works

Begin your journey at Horse Creek Lodge, the designated pickup point for our pre-ride hike shuttles. Conveniently located about one mile west of the McKenzie River Trail’s end. Once you arrive, we’ll load you and your bike into the shuttle and hit the road, setting you up for a day of exploration.

Tackle the trail at your own pace, typically completing the route in around 5 to 6 hours. The MRT offers diverse landscapes, with opportunities to soak in the stunning views, snap photos of waterfalls, and experience the unique geology of the area. Each section of the trail has something special to offer, ensuring a rewarding experience for all.

After your ride, simply head down the highway for one mile from the lower trailhead. Take a left turn toward Horse Creek Lodge. When you return, enjoy the amenities we offer like a bike wash or take a hot outdoor shower. Grab a beverage from one of our sponsors before heading out on your next adventure!

You can choose between a pre-ride or post-ride shuttle; using both is not required. If you find yourself needing a mid-ride pickup while on the McKenzie River Trail, we’re happy to assist if we’re available, but please note that additional charges will apply. Get ready for an unforgettable day on one of the best trails around!

Excellent
#1 of 7 Specialty lodging in McKenzie Bridge

“The owners and staff at Horse Creek Lodge & Outfitters gave exceptional customer service...very nice to stay at a place where you can see and feel the care they give to what they do...we camped for two nights and enjoyed their new campground area. They have amazing outdoor showers...looking up at beautiful trees and the sky... clean, and unique... The staff assisted with a bike rental and shuttled us to the McKenzie River Trailhead for our awesome 26 mile mountain bike ride along the river. It is the only place we will stay when back in the area...” — Lor (via Tripadvisor)
