McKinsey..

Answer 2

a word about the McKinsey River in Oregon. This is a tributary of the Willamette River which runs right by Eugene and several other cities. The citizens have come together and formed what they call a watershed council. It has on it county commissioners, representatives of the local utility companies, educators, citizens, and representatives from, I think it is Weyerhaeuser, but, at any rate, a local forest products company. They have set out to restore the entire river. It is a magical place when you see the steelhead and the salmon spawning and they were in danger of losing them. They are out there restoring wetlands, planting alders and poplars along the banks of the river, working with the county to put together a riparian protection plan.
I asked them what can we do, and they said, Mrs. Smith, they said we don't need any programs, any new programs. What we need is access to existing resources. They said, we have gone to the Forest Service, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, and they are helping us do this. We have gone to the Bureau of Land Management, and they are helping us inventory the landscape around this river, and we have received some help from the USGS. They are providing us hydrographic data sets and maps.


The McKenzie River has its origin in the high Cascade Mountains of western Oregon. Its crystal clear waters tumble down past tall fir and hemlock trees, which are home to the many osprey that inhabit the area. This beautiful river works its way down the mountains to its confluence with the Willamette River near the city of Eugene.

Caster's Guide Service runs paddle raft day trips with 4-8 paddlers per boat. Your paddle team, under the control of an experienced, licensed guide, will navigate the many thrilling rapids the McKenzie has to offer.
The Upper McKenzie Float

The upper section of the McKenzie River is characterized by nearly continuous, cascading-type of rapids, boulder-strewn pockets of pristine water, and old growth trees with an occasional osprey nest at the top. This is an extremely scenic and unique stretch of the McKenzie that will make for a memorable day on the river.
The Middle McKenzie Float

The middle section of the McKenzie becomes more of a pool and drop type of river, in which, exhilarating rapids are separated by relaxing slower stretches of water. Osprey nests and a variety of water fowl are prevalent on this part of the river. The rapids are characterized by fun waves with an occasional class III bounce like Brown's Hole and the grand finale of the float, class III Martin's Rapids, just before the take out.

Both the upper and middle sections of the McKenzie are excellent raft trips for all ability levels. The rapids are fun and exciting yet not overwhelming, and the mountain scenery is magnificent.
