McKee Bridge Day Use Area offers direct access to the Applegate River for fishing, wading, and swimming, with 45 picnic sites, vault toilets, and drinking water available.

The site features a historic 1917 covered bridge and a reservable Community Kitchen shelter ($50/day for groups up to 50 people), though most of the day-use area is flat and easily accessible except for steps leading down to the river.

Located at 1,600 feet elevation in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, it serves as a gateway to nearby Applegate Lake and Red Buttes Wilderness Area.
