McKenzie River Drift Boat on the Rogue River

Today’s McKenzie River Drift Boat has few changes from the boat designs of the 1970s.

In this photograph, river guide and boat builder Jayson Hayes is running a guided trip for Helfrich River Outfitters on the Rogue River in Southern Oregon. His custom built high side guide boat is tuned for maximum performance among the boulders of the famous Blossom Bar rapids where there is little room for a mistake.
