Upper McKenzie River: 1/2 Day McKenzie River Whitewater Rafting
 The half day McKenzie rafting trip is our most popular. It is perfect
for small and large groups, kids and veteran river folk alike.
We offer two launch times to choose from daily.
Morning and Afternoon trips meet at 9:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. in front of our McKenzie River office located at Belknap Resort and
Hot Springs. (**Belknap guests receive a discount on all 1/2 day
rafting trips.) In the fall, we offer trips meeting at noon to take
advantage of the warmest part of the day.
 After
the initial paper work and introductions have taken place, we pile into
our vans and head up to the boat launch. Having our office at Belknap
Resort gives you the advantage and increased security of leaving your
car here rather than on the side of the road at the boat launch or at a
campground. We provide everyone with all
necessary paddling gear once we reach the boat launch. This includes
paddle jackets (a nylon top with
neoprene wrists and neck cuffs), splash pants (made from urethane
coated nylon) and booties. These items are provided on cooler days or
by request and free of charge. After a thorough safety and equipment
orientation, we launch and begin our adventure. This is usually about
30 to 45 miutes. from the time we meet.
We work as a team on the river and maneuver our way through fun
continuous rapids, old growth forest and engage in fun water activities
(water fighting, river games and always a fun and engaging experience
with your guides) while observing Osprey and Blue Herons fishing. The
river is crystal clear the entire way, full of history and is a diverse
river eco-system. All of our guides are well versed in the river
history, flora and fauna. Most of High Country’s guides are local to the rivers they guide!
The trips are approximately 10 to 14 river miles long depending on water
levels. You are always guaranteed approximately 2 1/2 hours on the
river. At the end of the trip, we load the gear onto our trailers and
take you back to Belknap Resort and Hot Springs. At Belknap you can
soak in the relaxing 100+ degree hot springs pool, walk beautiful and
lavish flower garden trails and browse our store for souvenirs,
including maps, books, shirts, hats and much more.
