SAVE THE DATE FOR THE 2026 MCKENZIE RIVER DRIFT BOAT FESTIVAL!

The 2026 McKenzie River Drift Boat Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the lawns at Eagle Rock Lodge. The event is a fun day with like-minded folks interested in or obsessed with drift boats and river dories. Come and join the fun!

Eagle Rock Lodge is located at 49198 McKenzie Hwy Vida, OR 97488

A few event details:

• For those planning to bring a boat to the show and not float the river, please arrive early enough (approximately 9:00 a.m.) so that your drift boat can be courtesy towed from the parking area to the riverfront grounds.

• If you plan to arrive by the river, plan to arrive by 10:00 am.

• Those interested in joining an informal flotilla to Eagle Rock Lodge should plan to launch from Finn Rock Landing at 8:45 a.m. We will begin as soon as the sweep boat passes under the Quarts Creek Bridge. We plan to arrive at Eagle Rock Lodge at or around 10 a.m.

• Boats can be pulled from the river, parked on the Festival grounds, and then re-launched for the takeout one-half mile downstream at Silver Creek landing. Please pre-arrange your shuttles.

• There is no pre-registration or fee for showing your boats.
