We want to keep everyone safe while enjoying the river, so we’re sharing an important update regarding the log jam below Bellinger Landing at the bottom of Powerline Flat. Recently, several new trees have fallen into this area, creating an unpredictable channel that can be challenging for inexperienced boaters. The Sheriff’s Office has strongly advised against using this route, highlighting its technical nature and the potential risks involved. For your safety, we recommend using alternative routes and staying informed about current conditions before heading out on the water. I’m pleased to report that there are no other major obstructions on the McKenzie River at this time. Safe boating!
