Please check the booking calendar on each individual activity page for more information about availability during winter months.

Pet care or check-in/ walks if your pet is going to be alone for an extended period of time is available. Pets are not permitted to be left unattended in vehicles while participating in any activity. Sandra Angle is our local trusted guardian who finds joy in making sure you dog is well cared for in your absence. Sandra can be reached at 925-389-8578 service is limited so text is best.
Is the fireplace the only source of heat in the winter?
Although our fireplaces are cozy, they’re not our only source of heat! Our cabins also come equipped with mini-split heat pumps, as well as air conditioning to cool you down in the summer.
Do your cabins come with firewood and kindling?
Cabins are stocked with kindling and one bundle of firewood but if you need more than that they are just $5. We also have bundles of firewood for sale in our store for campers. Please note, however, that we do not provide charcoal for the outdoor barbecue. If you’d like to purchase some, we recommend visiting the nearby Blue Sky Market.
Activities & Rentals
Are your guides river rafting trips suitable for beginners?
Definitely. Anyone age five or older is welcome on our rafting trips — no previous experience necessary!
Do you have any recommendations on where to take my stand-up paddleboard?
There’s plenty of reservoirs and lakes for you to enjoy by kayak or paddleboard, and they’re all located only a short drive (20 to 25 minutes) from the McKenzie Outdoor Center. Here are our favorites:
What are the difficulty levels on the trails?
The McKenzie River Trail is suitable for intermediate to advanced mountain bikers, as well as the O’Leary Trail Loop. There are also lower drop off options on the McKenzie River Trail that make it suitable for beginners. However, riders on the latter should anticipate little to no cell phone service, so being self-sufficient is a must. Lastly, we recommend that only advanced riders use the Olallie Trail.
Do you have kids' sizes available for your mountain bikes?
Yes. We have a range of children’s mountain bike rentals for you to choose from.
