The main stem, a much shorter segment of the Mackenzie, is marked in dark blue. Among the longest rivers of Canada are 47 streams of at least 600 km (370 mi). In the case of some rivers such as the Columbia, the length listed in the table below is solely that of the main stem.
The river is joined by twenty-four tributaries including the Isaac and Connors rivers and Funnel Creek. [6] Northeast of Duaringa, the Mackenzie is joined by the Dawson River and together they form the Fitzroy River. From source to mouth, the Mackenzie River descends 79 metres (259 ft) over its 275-kilometre (171 mi) course. [2] [3] [4] [7]

There are many small islands in the sea and in the delta of the Mackenzie River. A few larger ones lie west of the Mackenzie River, such as Herschel Island (4 km (2.5 mi) off the shore, area 18 km 2 (6.9 sq mi)) and Barter Island (0.3 km (0.19 mi) from the coast, area 13 km 2 (5.0 sq mi)).
The maximum thickness of the Coppermine River flood basalts is 4.7 km (2.9 mi) and consist of 150 lava flows, each 4 m (13 ft) to 100 m (330 ft) thick. [12] The Coppermine River flood basalts were extruded shortly after a period of crustal uplift that later resulted in a short period of collapse in the associated landscape. [3]
The McKenzie River drains a region of about 1,300 square miles (3,400 km 2) and is one of the primary tributaries of the Willamette River. Elevations in the watershed range from 10,358 feet (3,157 m) at the summit of the South Sister to 375 feet (114 m) at the McKenzie's mouth on the Willamette River north of Eugene.
