Water we rely on.
The McKenzie River offers lessons in environmental resilience.
It's a treasured destination for fly-fishing and paddling, a soothing soundtrack to a mossy forest hike, the perfect spot for a waterfall photo op. From its headwaters in the Cascades to its confluence with the Willamette River just north of Eugene, the McKenzie River is a special place for many Oregonians.

The state Senate voted 20-9 on Wednesday to pass House Bill 4134, hiking taxes on stays at hotels, campgrounds and vacation rentals from 1.5% to 2.75%. The bill passed the state House of Representatives last week.

The bill increases taxes on stays at hotels, campgrounds and vacation rentals to help pay for wildlife conservation programs.
