Finn Rock Landing on the McKenzie River has re-opened its boat launch, parking lot, and restrooms after months of renovations and improvement projects closed the area to the public.

McKenzie River Trust which owns and manages the property, closed the area in Oct. 2023 for improvements including:

The project cost about $850,000 and was funded by grants from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s Recreational Trails Program, Lane County Parks bond measure and private donations, according to McKenzie River Trust.

The Landing is open year-round for people to access the river and launch non-motorized watercraft. The Trust also plans on replanting the area with native trees and shrubs this Fall.
