Our History

with the McKenzie River Complex

When we found this place, we were blown away by how remote the riding felt and how under ridden the trails were.  This is one of those networks that is far off the beaten path, but definitely one of Oregon’s best networks.  Most come here for the McKenzie River Trail proper, which is great, but it’s also river trail.  The Olallie, O’Leary, Castle Rock, Kings Castle Loop is a great big mountain ride that has you riding on the ridge and amongst the heart of the Willamette National Forest.  The Race came here in 2016, and in 2017, if you haven’t been here, we’d suggest putting this on your TO DO list.
