Deschutes River Trail

A popular 10.5-mile mountain biking trail in Oregon's Deschutes National Forest.

Reviewed By CrankingChick - Tucson, United States

We stayed at a hotel adjacent to the trail and went out for a peaceful walk at sunset. The paved trail follows along the banks of the Deschutes River, so the scenery is great. It's suitable for wheelchairs and strollers and passes through Riverbend Park and Farewell Bend Park where there is a playground and some picnic shelters. We easily walked about 2 miles, crossing bridges over the river to go down both sides. There were a lot of people out walking or jogging and we saw people fishing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on the river. Waterfowl were abundant and didn't seem bothered by the company. The Mill District shopping area is right next to the trail; it would make a fun date night to have dinner at one of the restaurants there and then take a walk along the river.

Wanoga Snow Play Sno-Park, Bend, OR

Reviewed By tiffanyl619 - Woodland, United States

Such a fun sledding hill to take the kiddos when we’re in the area! A sno-park pass is required so I recommend you get one in town, as sometimes there’s no one selling them at the trailhead. The bathrooms are glorified outhouses, but if ya gotta go ya gotta go!
