The 2024 McKenzie River Drift Boat Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 27, from 10:00 to 4:00 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!

A few event details:

For those planning to bring a boat to the show, 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 should plan to launch from Forest Glen Boat Landing at 8:00 and arrive at Eagle Rock Lodge at or around 10.

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.
