Rafting & Kayaking In And Around Eugene:

The McKenzie River is one of the treasures of the Pacific Northwest. This Oregon gem is a classic alpine river high in the Cascade Range, with its headwaters located at Clear Lake. Cascading through a canyon covered in Douglas fir and old growth forest, this river is a crystal clear jewel with an abundance of dancing rapids. Its rich history and spectacular scenery make it one of the finest all-around rivers in Oregon. From beautiful views of waterfalls to stunning views of snow-capped mountains, this river is a fly-fishing and whitewater river rafting enthusiast's paradise.

Below are listings of companies who specialize in river guided excursions down the McKenzie River and other rivers that are close to Eugene. From beginners to experts, from families to kayakers, these rivers have something that everyone can enjoy!


A. Helfrich Outfitter
From the heart of Eugene, meeting places for our McKenzie River Rafting Trips are only 45 to 65 minutes upstream. We carve out rafting trips of varying lengths--9.5 miles for a half-day run, 13 to 16 for a full day. We are flexible and suggest the section of the McKenzie River appropriate to the paddling skills and experience of our guests--and the time they have available. A Helfrich Outfitter LLC has earned its reputation largely on customizing our trips (and on our reasonable prices).

Our McKenzie River rafting guides are conscientious and experienced; licensed; registered with the Oregon State Marine Board. Their courtesy and pleasantness will contribute measurably to your enjoyment of this wonderful, exciting McKenzie River.

Oregon Whitewater Adventures
Oregon offers some of the most charming and exciting rivers with incredible scenery and unspoiled beauty. Oregon Whitewater Rafting Adventures chooses some of the most challenging rivers for its guided trips. Rafting trips are available from April through October. Trips are paddle trips, where everyone participates by paddling, unless otherwise requested. If requested, the guide will row the raft, and you sit and relax while the guide does the maneuvering.

No experience is necessary! An expert whitewater guide will teach you paddling techniques and river safety while guiding you downriver. Even nonswimmers will feel confident and secure. Top quality personal flotation devices (life jackets) are provided and must be worn at all times while on the water. At the beginning of your trip, your guide will give you a safety lecture. All guides are experienced, friendly, and have first aid training.
