Coming Soon the 2021 McKenzie Magazine Winter Edition

The McKenzie River area continues to have many activities to enjoy this winter- from skiing and snowboarding to angling along the lower river or snowmobiling in the high country. Remember, the outdoors isn’t on lockdown, and we have plenty of sites to explore - all with plenty of fresh air. Let people know your business is welcoming visitors this winter season, while safely enjoying recreation. (Health officials recommend keeping groups under ten people - easily done outside.)
