Our guides Brent, Carmen and Greg were fantastic…read more The overnight lodges were comfortable with good dinners and breakfasts, each one offered private rooms with private baths, hot showers. The rafting itself was amazing with a variety of rapids and scenery. We saw a lot of wildlife around the lodges and during rafting. Our guides made great lunches which we devoured at gorgeous locations along the river banks. The front desk staff that helped with our reservations as well as pre and post trip lodge accommodation at Morrions lodge were nice. Shout out to Lisa for everything she did to make our experience memorable. Highly recommend the rafting as well as the morrison lodge. We will be back soon

The food was even better and we will definitely be back to stay 6 nights next time.

Luke answered tons of pre-trip questions to get us prepared, showed up with all the gear on time, gave us good background info about the area, and made sure we were all well taken care of. The trip was a delight, with just enough mini-rapids to keep our adrenaline flowing. I cannot recommend anyone better than LukeLuke for this trip!

The nearby showers and bathroom are very unclean. The beach area they advertise for kids to play in…read moreis very small and misleading. We could not find any good spots around the lake to play in the water with our kids and dog. Also, the Trump 2020 flags they were hung everywhere were a huge turn off. Why would a lake marina and camp ground be advertising their political views ? It was very odd. We won't return and I would discourage this place to others.

They will take all your money! My fiance and I rented two jet skis from them for half the day and they wouldn't give us extra life jackets for our family members that were on the beach waiting to ride the jet skis too. The owners of the Marina spoke to us as if we were already guilty of destroying their jet skis and THEN when it was time to return the jet ski's, the owner made us ride the jet ski's up to the dock while screaming CLOSER, CLOSER, CLOSER, the jet ski hit the dock. So they charged us an extra $100 because of a scratch that they made us do!! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! NEVER RENT FROM THESE PEOPLE!! JUST DESPERATE FOR MONEY!!

We watch all the company's guides on the river and they looked fun and safe from our view on the river. We loved the trip with Tonya, Tim and Bert. The guides were friendly, knowledgable and safe. I changed rafts along the river from Bert's raft to Tonya's to even the numbers and weight. What an experience. Laughed so much and got so wet. We stopped to let people swim and jump off "climbing rock". Later we stopped at McKenzie Bridge campground for a short snack and potty break. Tnt supplied huge amounts of snack bars, chips, nuts, fruit, and bottled water for our consumption. If you want to see the McKenzie River along with it"s class one and two plus rapids, I would recommend Tnt!

This is a pretty nice area to walk and it looked like it had some good fishing. The main issue was…read morethat there were a lot of unleashed dogs and people not paying attention to them so if you walk with your dog on a leash expect random dogs to come running up to you. That definitely less into the positive experience there but it was beautiful nonetheless. I would not go out of my way to come here unless I was fishing but if you're in the area and in the mood for a walk near the water this is a great place to stop

Our plan was to spend one day and to fish the next, however we had such a great time we spent another day! The property and the accommodations are wonderful. This is not a hotel it is a lodge and a retreat and its perfect. Fishing was unsurpassed. We caught and released over 120 fish the first day. The guide was perfect, his boat was clean and new. He was friendly and funny and he knew every hole along the river. He would say say see that rock and log, cast between them and we should get a couple of fish. We did and it was all day long. The fishing was so good we chose to stay another day to fish from shore. Fishing along the shore was also outstanding. Wecaught and released another 40 fish. Anyone will catch fish here. Meals were very good with severlal choices. Cost of meals was on the higher side. I have dreamed of fishing at The Big K Ranch for couple years. Again the entire experience was beyond my dreams.

The only words to describe the Yurt rental is "magical". Okay, I could probably come up with more…read morelike "amazing" or "private oasis" but you get the point. I am on a 5 week road trip/camping trip with my kids and we have been camping all over the PNW and CA. This has been my favorite stop of the trip and had I known it was going to be this magical, I would've booked a week instead of 3 days. The check in process was amazing. They give you the code and you go to your Yurt which is away from everyone else at the campground. You have your own little dock, backyard, outdoor cooking area, sunroom with a shower, and the Yurt itself is like a home/suite-like hotel room but in a Yurt. After a long day of driving, being able to just go to your room and walk right in, especially with young kids in the car, is such an added bonus. I've literally felt like I've had the place to myself these last few days and it's heavenly. Being away from it all means my kids aren't bothering anyone when they're out playing at 6:00 in the morning, and we've been sleeping like logs by 9:00 because it's so quiet --aside from the relaxing sound of water and birds. I'm pretty sure this is my new favorite place. It's so much better than the website depicts and I am absolutely staying here again. I imagine this place books up rather quickly. I got lucky and booked it 7 months ago with no problems. You can kayak (included) to Siltcoos lake OR the ocean. The added gate to keep kids in and away from the dock is such a thoughtful touch and kept my anxiety at bay knowing my twins wouldn't wander off.

We love visiting Newport and this weekend was our way of getting away from the heat…read moreWe booked a 6 pm tour (2 hours) and even at 6pm it was pretty warm (72) Parking is easy The guide gave us a quick safety rundown along with the harbor rules Although the kayaks are "sit on top" they were great for 2 people as there was not much risk of capsizing while we paddled around the harbor We had a great tour guide who pointed out all the features as we paddled along the sea wall, docks, past the coast guard and under the bridge The water was calm and the tide was just beginning to go out but paddling back to base was not a problem Highly recommend this for all abilities as it's a view of Newport you can only get from a kayak

The visitor's center was just closing when we arrived, but they did have some placards with pertinent information on the back deck with a gorgeous view of the bog. The other area below the visitor's center, where the short boardwalk and dock are located, has a picnic area available. There's an area where you can walk through the marsh to view the wildlife. We visited in early May so it was a bit muddy out there. It would have been fine if we brought our boots. Next time. We did hear many different birds out there, but only saw a few. Overall a nice stop while in the area, but not sure we would go out of our way to stop here again.

I read positive reviews and the brochure ("Bring your binoculars...this soft-packed, moderately…read moredifficult loop skirts the fringes of the upland forests and meadows") online prior to going, expecting a pleasant hike on a maintained trail. This was not that. The Beaver Creek Loop trail was a horrifying viewless bushwacking slog over overgrown blackberry, poison oak, and tall grass (check yourself for ticks). Very clear that trail hasn't been brushed in a LONG time. The trail doesn't even deserve to be called a trail. Also there's a downed tree across the trail with pretty much no way except to duck under into a thicket of poison oak while carrying a small child. Really horrible. Do better Oregon, this was really not OK. AVOID THIS PLACE.
