26.5 mile hiking and mountain biking trail along america's cleanest river. Make sure you see Tamolitch Blue Pool, Sahalie Falls, Koosah Falls and Clear Lake

The MRT is a beautiful trail with a mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections. It is often ridden downhill as a shuttle, but if you are fit you can ride part or all of it uphill. Above the "blue pool" (Tamolithch Falls) is mostly intermediate with a few technical bits. There are three main areas of technical in the upper third section of the MRT: east side of Clear Lake, a short section below Sahalie Falls, and mostly after Tamolitch Falls where it becomes very rugged and rocky - great fun if you like technical challenges, wise to walk if not. From the start, you'll ride a few miles of moderate singeltrack. At Clear Lake you can continue the easy-moderate trail on the westside, or opt for the highly technical section on the east side (a sunny, sweltering hot, sharp lava rock, tube eating option if you like that kind of adventure...credit to Mark for that). After the lake, it's back to nice flow. A bit of technical sections below Sahalie Falls, quite a bit more below Tamolitch Falls. If you don't care to ride the volcanic rock, you need to walk it, there are no ride-arounds. After you encounter Trail Bridge Campground, the riding is fairly smooth again, with a very smooth finish, but watch out for a very steep embankment and narrow trail shortly after you cross the log bridge over the Smith River feeding into the reservoir. If you've got wide handlebars it is easy to bump roots/rocks sticking out up hill and careen down the cliff.

McKenzie River National Recreational Trail is a 24.1 mile trail located near Blue River, Oregon. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. This is a great bike trail, one of the best in Oregon. You'll pass by beautiful lakes, two big waterfalls, through lava fields and through beautiful forests.

Another day trip is to drive up Hwy 126 and follow the McKenzie River. There are multiple trailheads you can find.

The McKenzie River Trail is 26 miles long, starting up near Fish Lake and ending near McKenzie Bridge. It ranges from family friendly to extremely technical. It is a very popular mountain bike ride as well as hike. It is recommended to use Horse Creek Lodge to shuttle the trail for biking. It is not necessary to ride the entire trail if it will be beyond your capabilities. Sahalie Falls and Blue Pool are two of the more popular stops along the trail that can be accessed by hiking.
