The river has several tributaries, including the Blue River and the South Fork McKenzie River. Two notable dams on the river are the Cougar and Blue River dams. Seasonally, the river experiences lower flows in the summer and higher flows in the winter and spring due to snowmelt. The McKenzie River is also known for its clear blue water and is a popular spot for fishing and whitewater rafting. Fun fact: the river was named after Donald McKenzie, a fur trader who explored the area in the early 19th century.
