The river is fed by snowmelt and rainfall, and its constituents include various fish species such as Chinook and Coho salmon, steelhead, and trout. The river has several tributaries, including the Blue River and the South Fork McKenzie River. Two major dams on the river are Cougar and Blue River dams. Seasonally, the river experiences higher flows in the late winter and spring months due to snowmelt, while low flows occur in the summer and fall. An interesting fact about the McKenzie River is that it is a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and hiking.
