The river is fed by several tributaries, including the Blue River and the South Fork McKenzie River, and it flows into the Willamette River. There are several dams on the McKenzie River, including Cougar, Trail Bridge, and Blue River dams. The flow rate of the river tends to be highest in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt, and lowest in the fall and winter. Interesting facts about the river include that it is home to several species of fish, including salmon and steelhead, and that it was named after a Scottish-Canadian fur trader named Donald McKenzie.
