McKenzie River Rafting in Oregon – Family-Friendly Full-Day Trips Starting April 11

Looking for the best McKenzie River rafting experience in Oregon? Just over an hour from Eugene and Bend, our guided rafting trips offer the perfect mix of excitement, safety, and stunning natural beauty, look no further than our full-day float — get ready to make an unforgettable memory!

Our float trips are family friendly and great for beginners. As long as you’re at least 5 years old, you’re more than welcome to join us!

Flowing out of ancient lava beds, the pristine McKenzie River meanders through some of the most lush and beautiful old growth forests in Oregon. As a class II and III river, it is appropriate for paddlers age 5 and older of any experience level. Your guides are well-trained and know the ins and outs of river rafting, so you’ve got nothing to worry about except having fun! Whether you’re looking for a mild or wild adventure on the beautiful McKenzie River, Horse Creek Lodge & Outfitters can accommodate you!

We’ll take care of all the details and provide you with everything you need for a great day, including a wetsuit, booties, splash jacket, personal flotation device, and a helmet if you’d like one! You won’t go since our full-day trip includes a stop for beautiful and delicious catered riverside lunch!

How it works:

Our full-day rafting adventure allows you to experience 17 miles of the best whitewater the McKenzie River has to offer. We’ll start the day by meeting at the Upper McKenzie Community Center  at 9:00 AM where you’ll meet your guides and get all the gear you need for your adventure. We’ll transport you to the boat launch, a 5 to 10-minute drive from the Outdoor Center, and then start rafting! After an amazing day on the river, including stops for swimming, sight-seeing, and picnicking, you’ll arrive at the boat ramp, at which point your guides will load up the rafts, and transport you on another 5-minute drive back to the McKenzie Outdoor Center.

Looking for a shorter adventure? Consider our half-day rafting trip!
