The McKenzie River is fed by several tributaries, including the Blue River and the South Fork McKenzie River. One of the main dams on the river is the Cougar Dam, which was built in the 1960s to provide flood control and hydroelectric power. The river experiences seasonal trends, with higher flows in the winter and spring due to snowmelt and rain, and lower flows in the summer and fall. Interestingly, the McKenzie River is home to several species of fish, including rainbow trout, chinook salmon, and steelhead. The river also has several natural hot springs, which attract visitors throughout the year.
