Fishing, Rafting & Kayaking Guides

Whether you like to fish, kayak, raft or do all three, our experienced guides are happy to show you the ropes from the rugged Cascades to the edge of the Oregon Coast.

For world-class fly fishing, come to Lane County and ride the same rapids on which Prince Helfrich and Leroy Pruitt designed the famous McKenzie River drift boat in the 1920s. From the alpine lakes and rivers of the Cascades to the coastal waters of the Siuslaw National Forest and the sprawling Willamette Valley in between, you'll find some of the best angling in the country.

These same waters offer kayakers a unique vantage point to view wildlife, take in fall foliage, and dip their paddles in adventurous rapids. With mild weather often holding well into fall months, Lane County makes a great, uncrowded escape during the off-season.

Grab a paddle and a group to hit the water with one of these great rafting guides. From beginners to experts, there is a stretch of river in Lane County for everyone's adventure level. Take an easy float or hang on tight for a wild ride through the McKenzie River’s class III Martens Rapids.
