Plan now to participate in this beloved annual event!
Paddle pristine water through the lush old-growth forest of the Cascade Mountains. The Wild and Scenic McKenzie River is known for excellent whitewater boating.
The McKenzie River Trail follows along the banks of the river providing superb hiking and biking through cascading waterfalls, deep pools, and lava fields. The water quality is astounding - sparkling, blue and cold.
The club has reserved several campsites along the water at Paradise Campground and welcome you to enjoy some time this summer with friends. Guests are welcome too.
