Willamette NF: McKenzie Ranger District

With a ride so good they named a ranger district after it, the McKenzie RD has even more to offer than it's most famous ride, with a great cluster of trails near O'Leary Mountain.

Like the Willamette River and Umpqua River trails, the McKenzie river trail covers a LOT of terrain, with some reasonable climbing between the Trail Bridge Campground and Sahalie Falls, and one of the great lavabed trails in the Cascade Range.

2020 Beachie Creek, Lionshead & Holiday Farm Fires: Most of the Detroit RD and a portion of the McKenzie River RD were damaged by the fires. See the Willamette NF Site for closures.

As always, it is best to call the local Ranger District for trail conditions and other restrictions prior to riding, as the NF website may not contain trip-specific details.
