Been using this crew for a decade, although the owner of the original High Desert River Outfitters Co. Has passed and since has been bought out by Raft California I will try to support the new crew with continued dedication.

This is a company that has been in the business a long time and definitely knows what they are doing. Outstanding customer service, COVID compliant and some of the best guides available. The guide for our day trip was Zach Williams and not once did I question the safety of the hands we were in. Several other guides and rafters we encountered along the trip confirmed it by telling us "He's the best guide out here". Multiple trip options to choose from and the experience will be as tame or daring as you and your group chooses. It was so much fun and the pictures the company photographer took really captured it. My group and I are looking forward to the next one. I could not recommend this business more!

Did a half day trip, with Jim as our guide, and it was probably the best rafting trip I have been on (even though I got tossed out of the boat). Just a fun trip, and we will be coming back for a full day for sure.

We participated in the 3 day 2 night rafting/camping trip on the Lower Deschutes River. It was an amazing experience. Truly, the memories will last a lifetime!

My family (wife and two teenagers) were excited as well as apprehensive about white water rafting, that is until they met our guide, Kirk. Kirk, his positive energy and high level of skill truly made our trip one to remember. Our son is autistic and while he enjoys adventure, we thought this might be pushing the envelope. Nope. Kirk caught on fast and made sure to help our son feel capable, included and best of all, Kirk made sure Connor had a great time. We can't wait to head back next summer! Hopefully we get Kirk again.

I've never been whitewater rafting before, but this trip will definitely make me a regular! I plan to go back every summer now! Our guides were amazing and the Groupon price was a steal.

Went this past Friday and was treated to an entire days worth of rafting and a great lunch. The entire staff was friendly and fun. Be prepared to jump off rocks, swim down the “swimmers rapids”, and raft into a refreshingly crisp Deschutes River! Our guide Amanda was incredible. She made the trip one to remember. Would definitely recommend.

First time white water rafting, Haven, our guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. He took us through some spectacular areas, and the All Star photographer got some excellent shots. Definitely a good time! Highly recommend

Recently did an all-day drip with All Star. We were lucky enough to get Gretchen as our guide and she is AMAZING. My wife and I were the only two not in a bigger group, so it was just the two of us and Gretchen in a smaller raft and we had a blast. We had the best time here, and we will definitely be coming back next summer with all our kiddos! The rafts and equipement were all in great shape. The lunch was amazing. Overall, we just had a great time! Thanks so much All Star, and thanks Gretchen for being an awesome guide!!!

Rented a great raft, great service, awesome ride to the river, knowledgeable tutorials befor my first captaining experience, and timely pickup at the end of the trip, all for a fair price! Highly recommend!

What a great experience! Everything went really smooth. Our guide Elias was super cool. Lunch was very well done, and they even had refreshments when we pulled up on shore before heading back on the road. The geological facts were super cool too. Most importantly our whole family was treated warmly and respectfully. We had a tremendous amount of fun swimming, jumping off rocks, riding the rapids, riding the bull and sliding down the slippery rocks on the white river as a fun little stop during our day trip down the deschutes. I don’t normally leave reviews but this place was really awesome and I highly recommend them. We will for sure be coming back for their overnight trip! What a great way to spend the day with friends or in our case, our 6 person family, the two youngest being 10yrs old. Super fun!!

Had a great time on a 3 day rafting trip. The guides (Peter and Mike) were awesome. Our kids had a blast. The guides were safety first oriented. The food was great. Like any trip I would have a couple small recommendations for them. But overall very fun trip that my kids will remember.

My family has used all star rafting for many years. Excellent customer service. Everybody was very friendly and seem to be a family orientated business. Booking was really easy they showed up when they said they would and met us at Sandy Beach right on time. All the equipment was obviously well used but everything worked properly. However, I talked to someone after a rafting trip and they apologized about the well used equipment and said they would be getting new rafts for next season. I’m guessing they are a family business and Covid had an impact on them just like everybody else. Which is completely understandable. I would absolutely give all star rafting five stars and would highly recommend. I’m looking forward to coming back for another trip next year. Thanks again for the amazing memories

I probably have more experience with these guy than about anyone. I was with a school group for about 7 summers. We always used All Star. The guides were always great and everything went smoothly. Then, I recently used them personally with some college friends. They rented us the raft, ferried us up the river, and picked us up at the bottom. Perfectly smooth, as usual. Silas in the office has been super accommodating both this trip, and another personal trip I tried to set up two years ago, but which I had to back out of. No problem, no worries, he just refunded my deposit.

Great place but don't rent #3. It's an older room that was cute and bed was good. But: AC didn't work. Bathroom sink was in an alcove and hit my elbows trying to do anything. Closed up so kinda like an afterthought, but a couple of feet out the door you get the lawn and lake. Bathroom fan and headlamp don't work. Facility is great with fantastic location, right ON the river.

We had a wonderful time with the Imperial River Company. Though we didn't stay at the hotel, we had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant. Everything was well-prepared and everyone enjoyed their meals. The following day, we had an amazing all-day rafting trip with Charlie as the guide for our raft. He was the greatest raft guide I've ever had the privilege of having (though I may be biased since I'm his mother). But, it truly was a great day. And the other guides on our trip (Sam and Fiona) were energetic, friendly and made the day fun. Everyone we encountered with the Imperial River Company was warm and friendly and welcoming. I can't recommend them enough.

Absolutely WOW!! We had the best stay with Imperial this past weekend. From check in to check out everyone we met was so incredibly kind and genuine. Our room was sparkling clean and the continental breakfast was great. HUGE shoutout to our Raft Guide, Brian. He was fun, safe, and truly knew what he was doing to get us all giggling and soaking wet. Jamey at the front desk was so kind, it felt like I was talking to an old friend. Jamey at the bar made the atmosphere safe, fun, and some awesome drinks! I truly cannot rave about Imperial enough. We cannot wait to come back next summer and every summer after that. Thank you for one of the best weekends of the year! ❤️

We didn't have the pleasure of staying at the hotel as they were booked before we made our plans. We had a great time rafting with Fiona. We really enjoyed the full day itinerary with the start at the hotel, a lunch break back at the hotel and then wrapping up the final leg also at the hotel. Their set-up is great and we really appreciated being able to shower before we drove ~2 hours home. They went above and beyond and even shared amazong pictures with us rafting on the river. Would definitely recommend!

Wife and I were roaming around for our 20th anniversary and we came across Imperial River Company. We checked in and had a panoramic view off our deck at the beautiful river! The room was great! Clean, friendly and nothing like a regular hotel room. It was charming! Staff was friendly and hospitable. We really enjoyed our stay!

I went for a day trip for white water rafting with PSU. It was an absolute amazing experience! All the surrounding nature was beautiful and the location was well set up. All the employees were nice and helpful. The rafting guides deserve a lot of credit and help make it such a great experience. My groups guide was Charlie and he GREAT! He was knowledgeable, professional, funny, and extremely friendly. The other two guides with us on the trip(I cant remember their names) were also funny and helpful. You can tell the workers enjoy their jobs and are treated well by the company. Also the lunch provided in the day trip was delicious! Overall, it was a great experience and I would love to do it again.

The room was very comfortable, the staff had a good customer service attitude and the restaurant food was very good. The views of the river from the lawn and deck were memorable. This is the top place to stay in Maupin.

This was my first ever rafting trip, though I went with some friends and their kids who have gone a handful of times. Our guide, Pippa, made it the most amazing first experience! She was professional and safe but also funny and personable. Her ‘dad jokes’ were very entertaining and she had so much cool information and history to share with us about the river and surrounding area! I’m glad that she was the one to introduce me to white water rafting, and now I’m hooked! Can’t wait to go back! :)

We went with River Drifters last month and had such an amazing time with Cole as our guide that we HAD to return when my father in law visited from Germany. He had a blast too! The guides are fun and provide every group a unique and memorable experience. We had a rather large group, so email communication was needed to arrange accordingly. The group is very responsive and super helpful. 10/10 will go again!

We've drafted on the Deschutes River before but with other outfitters. This time we used Riverdrifters. From start to finish, the Reservation process, their pricing, their thorough communications until our day to raft were very reasonable, professional, and informative. Yesterday was our day on the River and, once again, Riverdrifters was awesome! Our guide, Chris, was very safety-oriented, knowledgeable, fun, and navigated all of the rapids with excellent execution. The lunch provided was excellent ( the cookies were the bomb!) Highly recommended for your next trip!

This was such a fun experience for a wide age range. The guides are friendly and patient. They also build time in for people to take swims if they like. There were plenty of jaunty class 3s that I couldn’t capture pics of. It’s exciting and relaxing, all in one half day trip. Definitely worth it. Just beware food choices will be slim out here. But the Imperial Hotel has a beautiful back patio with decent food.

Amazing trip! Jose was the best guide—fun, clear, and kept us safe while still bringing the excitement. Favorite part hands down was the Big Thrill Swimmers Rapid—absolutely unforgettable! Highly recommend rafting with Jose.

I went on 2 full day trips in July, and just got back from a 3 day camping raft trip. The day trips were great despite having done this run many times each of the day trips were a different experience, the guides are fantastic and make the trips so much fun. Once I had Johnny and I can’t say enough about how good he was, so smart and funny and sweet! The next time it was Walker who was the guide, he was also great, I swear I can’t recall laughing like I did that day! But the camping trip was the absolute best! RiverDrifters communicate well and all is well organized. The guide Haven is just fabulous, knowledgeable, considerate and you always feel safe. He is just a wonderful person all around, we also had Wilson, and it is truley amazing the things he gets done, he takes all the gear down the river ahead of us and finds the most perfect camp sites and has things set up! He is the man behind the scene that without him… it just wouldn’t work!! If you are looking for a great river experience go with RiverDrifters!!

We had such an amazing time. Our guide Chris was a lot of fun but also very accommodating for my husband who has some hip issues. Very knowledgeable about the history and wildlife and was very safe. We will definitely be back!!!

Tucked away in the hills just outside Madras hides this literal gem. The a selection of unique stones for sale from local fields and from a far is second to none. I have never seen a literal pile of raw thunder eggs the size of a baby's head until I went here! Friendly people, jaw dropping museum room and plenty of unique wears for sale. A must see for any rock hound!

Absolutely incredible crystals, geodes, specimens, basically anything you can imagine. My friends and I stopped here on our way back from a concert, and everything about this place is awesome. Incredible prices on everything (especially the rough stones in the yard, typically only $5 a pound), and awesome customer service. This is a must-stop location if you're passing by it!!

They have a wonderful selection of raw stones, crystals, and thunder eggs outside and a very nice collection of tumbled, polished and shaped stones and crystals inside. So glad we took a detour to stop and check it out! Some of my beautiful finds in their new home 😍 they haven't been cleaned up yet, but they still speak to me! Super friendly proprietors that can tell you all about their items. Stop in to add to your stone/crystal collection and visit the Ostrich and Peacocks too. We'll be back soon!

Love this place. Literal tons of rock to satisfy every rockhound. Their prices for rough are really good. Nothing like picking your own pieces instead of rolling the dice online. Store has all kinds of finished pieces from all over the world.

This is the best rock shop I've ever been to! There is so much variety and they are very helpful.

An absolute paradise for rock lovers 😍 I drove many hours to go here and was not at all disappointed. There are so many rocks from all over the world, and also a beautiful gift store with lots of treasures. I could have spent all day here, and all my money. I can’t wait yo visit it again sometime (soon!🤞).

If you’re looking for the best rock shop in Oregon, look no further. Richardson’s Rock Ranch in Madras is a no-frills, down-to-earth rock lover’s paradise. As someone who’s been bringing rocks, sticks, and leaves home since childhood, this place felt like a dream come true. You’re greeted by actual peacocks (yes—peacocks) wandering the property, and the whole experience is welcoming and judgment-free. You can dig through bins of crystals, minerals, and rough cuts priced by the pound, all while surrounded by breathtaking views of cowboy country. The drive alone is worth it. This is a true local gem—family-owned, full of character, and the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Whether you’re a rockhound, collector, or just someone who appreciates Earth’s natural beauty, go shop local and support this incredible brick-and-mortar. I’ll definitely be going back.

It's small and never crowded.Great air conditioner always nice and cool. No smoking.and they have a a vending machine you can buy cigs out of...... CRAZY. I haven't seen one of those since I was a little child

Nice level RV parking lot free to overnight. Casino is modern and really clean. Great variety of games to play. We enjoyed a nice buffet and left with a little more cash than we walked in with. Staff are all cheerful here. Shuttle from parking is convenient

Staff friendly helpful and caring. Casino clean and upbeat. Restaurant staff great food was disappointing and Luke warm. We had the special prime rib and baked potatoe. Primarily cool no seasoning aus gus thsamr. Baked was hard but hot. My side salad was good. I no it was a special but not being hot and season doesn't cost more than .1 a pound. So restaurant most likely no go again.

We went for the Ace Frehley concert. The place is small,the stage is outside in the parking lot. Is only 111° degrees. We stayed overnight in the ban. The concert was kind of sad not too much people nobody would sing along specially when Ace wanted everyone to sing and answer back in the New York groove. But my brother and I sang and enjoyed it alot. It was like our own private concert. Ace probably won't go there again.

Right off of highway 26. Plenty of parking but a very narrow drive in between parking spots in front of the casino. When long trucks parked there it's difficult to get through there is a fenced side lot which might be for larger vehicles. We stopped in for a couple of drinks and some food. Hoping for a buffet but we're pretty impressed with the lunch menu and the drinks were great. Lady friend played the slots while I checked out the museum and heritage store. I highly recommend taking a look at both of those. There's also interesting stuff to see across the street from the casino... Doors were locked when I visited but plan to return when it's open. GREAT VIEWS of the river from this park across the street too! BUT watch out for BIG OLE DUMMY SEMI TRUCK DRIVERS who aren't familiar with what a crosswalk is though. Hold your little ones hands

My first visit...Little place, but great games. There are two places on site to eat. We ate lunch at the small café. Prices were surprisingly low and the food was very good.

Where you can go to lose it all. The odds here are very low. When drawing. Happens its rarely a name that's not always called. The one time a winner picked me I spent the entire amount to win next to nothing . Guessing your card tracks rather good knowing the inexperienced from the experienced . Very clean very nice front counter people though

Beautiful walk to the metolius river viewpoint. The ponderosa pines are gorgeous here. The chipmunks are also very curious here. There is a large parking area at the viewpoint and vaulted pit toilets that can get pretty stinky during the day and also a walk in camp. There is a picnic area as well. Benches at the river viewing area and some along the way. 8/13/18

Five stars in Autumn. Did the loop trail from Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery to Lower Bridge than back on the other side of the river. Went there at early October, a lot of Falls color and the water are so clear. The hike is around 6 miles round trip easy hike. It is rare that you could hike on the edge of the river most of the way. The river is also a hot spot for fly fishing.

Beautiful place to visit or camp. An amazing natural resource to be experienced.

There is a gorgeous hiking trail near Camp Sherman that leads to the fish hatchery. There are a few small waterfalls and the river is ver clear with amazing blue and green colors.

An incredibly beautiful river, eleven different well-maintained campsites, the charming Camp Sherman store, and The intriguing Fish Hatchery. Honestly this place has something fun for everyone! Yet another reason my family's been camping there for over 60 years.

Rated one of the top 3 most pristine rivers in the United States with some of the best fly fishing for trophy trout anywhere. It starts underground from west of the Cascades and emerges out of the rocks near Camp Sherman. At the end of the pathway where you can just sit and enjoy the beauty of Central Or. Take a step back in time and relax. It's good for the soul

Very nice stroll along a beautiful spring fed river. Pristine waters. Easy walk.

Very awe inspiring place super cool rock formations and canyons

Amazing place to vacation. We camped at Crooked River Campground in the Cove Palisades State Park. The campsite was large and the bathrooms were cleaned everyday. Clean showers were a blessing at the end of the day! There was lots of wild life and deer. Hiking trail and small amphitheater area for a large group gathering. AT&T had reception but T-Mobile users were out of luck in camp. Lots of fun on the water. And grassy tree shaded play area for kids on the bank with protected swim area right next to boat launch. Made it easy to take turns on the water with large family. There is a courtesy dock that was extremely useful. There is a kayak launch too. Great to board kayak roller launch into water easy . There is a marina for fuel and general store for things you forgot( like a case of water) . Lots of opportunity to rent house boats, jet skis and other watercraft. Would suggest to go to “clear water” where the green water of Lake Billy Schnook meets the fresh mountain river. The water in the river is crystal clear and cold which is a big contrast to the green warm water of Billy Schnook. The rock canyon walls are beautiful. Lava, pressure and time have created works of art. Nature is beautiful. On land I would suggest to visit the scenic look out points. You can see Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Sisters. ( plus the others in the ring of fire. Don’t know all the names) . We were there 7 days and could have stayed longer.

I went here for a Christian summer camp with my church and I got to meet a lot of new people and make a lot of friends especially kids around my age and some really cool leaders. There were areas where we could go on Shore and hike or walk around if we wanted to we were also able to canoe and swim almost wherever we wanted. We stayed on houseboats and it was a really fun experience to know what it's like to live on a boat and to get closer to God. The only not-so-fun part was the almost a little over eight hour drive but it was still cool because we got to ride the whole way in tour buses that had TVs and USB ports so we have entertainment .I will still definitely be going again next year and making even more memories and strengthening my relationship with God. P. S I just wrote a really long review because I need to level up my tour guide account and to do that I have to make 5 200-plus character reviews.

Beautiful lake with large basalt cliffs. Road that winds around the cove pallasaids is quite an adventure

Cove Pallisades state park, the three rivers community and Lake Billy Chinook, in Culver are a sight to behold, the canyons from the town following the outline of the lake up to three rivers and then into the marina is a spectacular if hazardous drive (falling rocks), and never ceases to amaze, never busy, terribly overlooked in terms of scenery, opposite the Warm Springs native nation and the pelton dam, Round Butte mountain which has a spectacular 360° viewpoint over the Cascades, been 7 times, going to visit again in Feb. '26, can't wait, a poinant scattering my mothers ashes over the lake, Redmond and Bend, Madras and Prineville can't wait.

Had a very nice vacation here during the eclipse. Family had a great time in the swim area of three rivers marina. Well stocked and supplied stores only downfall is public out houses were stinky. All in all, a stellar experience.

I grew up in Central Oregon and this was one of my favorite swimming holes. It’s a shame that there seems to be a chronic blue-green algae problem in the water. It’s still an excellent spot for boating and camping. The place I last stayed even had an educational program in the canyon every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

We had never been to this gem. It was just a drive through to check it out, but wow, what an amazing surprise. Another Oregon State Park that is truly breathtaking. Looks like tons of great camping, boating, swimming when the algae is gone, and just chilling. We are definitely going back to camp. Don't let this beauty not be visited. It's 4 stars because until I camp.

We did not stay here but did a drive thru around the whole thing. Campgrounds are dry and nothing fancy. But have hook ups in some spots. The lake is huge. It was very windy when we went and water was rough. Water was very green so not sure if that's anything to worry about. Very popular with Boaters. Beautiful canyon views.

Absolutely love the Cove Palisades! Great park with facilities for use. Great swimming area, awesome for boating and water sports. Lots of parking, and trailer parking. The water in the summer is often warm. The down side it the amount of algae that is in the lake. Another negative is the amount of goose poop along the shore and in the picnic area. The water is often cloudy green. Huge lake with plenty of space to recreate on the water. From end to end it can take about an hour by boat.

Beautiful area with cool views and interesting topography. Nice campgrounds with nice amenities. Ice and firewood available. Cash or written down card options for late arrivals. Staff were very friendly and went above and beyond.

Nice park. We stayed in group camping site lots of room for everything

This place was awesome to stay with my family! We got the upper camp ground on top of the canyon, so there's weren't as many trees as there were the lower camp grounds in the canyon, but it was still a super nice place! The showers and bathrooms were pretty clean for a public campground, with plenty of hot water, and everyone's got a little space around their spot, so there was no cramping. The camper and RV hookups were simple and good, and they have sink tank dumping every few camp spots; also, slightly further in are two sewage dumps, which were clean and convenient. All around, it was a great stay! Just with my younger brothers (who aren't so young; all three between the ags of 13 - 17, and also my 11 y/o sister) knew how to cover their mouths when they're sick. Pretty disappointing to come home from a nice getaway with a cold 😭

The campground itself is nice, and we had a great time, but it was chaotic. Unsupervised kids were zipping around everywhere on e-bikes and e-scooters (including pedestrian-only paths), unleashed dogs were wandering into our campsite and even the bathroom, and numerous people cut through our campsite multiple times to shave 10 seconds off the walk to the bathrooms. That being said, the bathrooms were clean and kept well stocked with toilet paper, soap and paper towels, the campground was clean, there was a great dog park, easy access to the Deschutes River and to the Tam-a-Lau trail (you and walk to both), and our campsite had a nice view of the canyon wall.

What an absolutely beautiful place. Not too far of a drive. Paved paths. Was able to push my husband in his wheelchair thru out the whole area. Always a pleasure to spend an afternoon out here

I've gone here twice and both times I enjoyed it a lot. It was really nice to just walk around and appreciate nature as well as to feed the fish. You can buy some fish food and machines around the place for a quarter. You can also spot an eagle perched at the top of the trees sometimes which is awesome sight. I forgot to take pictures of the actual hatchery, but I took some of the river.

Super cool looking at the fish and the river was insane!

Very beautiful place for a stroll/hike, alone or with family or friends. Place is well maintained, with lots of fish of different stage complete with information boards for your knowledge. Bring a picnic lunch as there are tables overlooking the lake and the view is gorgeous!

The hatchery was on a nice site. We could roam freely along the runs, observing the bigger fish. The fertilizing and nursery were closed.. There was a pond with large fish swimming around that you could feed. The river next to the hatchery was beautiful.

The hatchery is notable in that the West and East Metolius trails can be accessed from here. Ample parking and several campgrounds are very close by. The fall scenery here is mindblowing and picture taking opportunities are abundant. Bring all of your supplies, the closest store is Camp Sherman and is miles away. Five star hiking area.

We loved walking around and seeing the whole process!

Went there for the first time Oct 2025. I went on a day about 11:00 am that they were having a rock climbing event so parking full. Decided to go to Dee Wright Observatory ( amazing) and come back. Arrived about 3:00 pm. Still a lot of ppl but found parking. Was my lucky day because took the Canyon trail (which was flat as far as I went) and was alone on it. Was unbelievably beautiful and peaceful. Pictures do not capture the raw beauty of nature there. Really an amazing place I could’ve walked for days in if I could have. A really special experience. I met two ppl in a diner who said they’ve never been, one has lived in area for 9 years and one for 3. Blew my mind. I would be there as much as possible if I lived close by. Go if you are lucky enough to.

This is an amazing place to visit. The formations are breathtaking and forever changing . Great place for hiking, rock climbing and just taking in the beauty. Spiritually moving and Awe inspiring Peace. Portable toilets and guided tours. Eagle watching is also fun if you can find them amongst the massive formation.

Beautiful stop! Smith Rock State Park looks vastly different than its surrounding area. You can either park and have a picnic and or hike, just soak in the views and head out, or enjoy the rock climbing wall playground they have! Our legs were killing us, so we decided just to do a quick stop and enjoy the views! Don't forget to check out Crescent Moon Ranch that's only 7 minutes away to feed and pet alpacas just for $5!

The views are AMAZING. There are plenty of trails on all different levels. The volunteers at the Welcome Center can advise you what trail to choose. I would recommend everyone to go here. If you don't have time or are physically not able to hike, still go there to watch the views from the parking lot. 15 minutes parking is free and within 1 minute you have stunning views.

Smith Rock is a wonderful scenic site that anyone can enjoy. If you can't walk far, just park at the top of the canyon and look out at the majesty of the rocks and high desert scenery. If you want a short hike, just bring a bottle of water and walk carefully down to the valley floor where the river is. If you want more adventure, there is rock climbing and there are longer hikes too. There is plenty of wildlife. We saw a marmot once feasting on the irrigated grass at the bottom. I've seen Osprey, Black-billed Magpie, Mallards, Canada Geese, Canyon Wren, White-throated Swifts, and others around too. For Oregon scenery, this spot isn't to be missed.

This has been one of the highlights of our road trip so far! Absolutely spectacular and such great choices in trail length. We were a bit confused at the start where the “Summit Loop” began from, but all trails seem to start from the one main entrance that takes you across the river. There’s also a large map once you get across.

We stopped by while passing through, merely to see the climbing area that we've heard of from ages past when Dale Goddard frequented the area. (We are "climbers emeritus".) When we arrived we realized that it deserved a lot more time than we had allocated for the visit. Lots of interesting trails with a variety of difficulties to explore, and only a short drive to Bend with all its creature comforts, or the lovely Tumalo State Park campground. Smith Rock is a seven hour drive from our home, but we are planning to go back.

Visited this monument so I could share with my son who works for Calfire

The monument is located in Ochoco Creek Park in the heart of Prineville, a short trip from Bend. It was dedicated in memory of 9 members of the Prineville Hot Shots, who were among 14 firefighters who died on July 6, 1994, while fighting the Storm King fire near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The memorial is very impressive and quite moving. The parents of the 9 Hot Shots who died conceived of the memorial, and many others also donated to make it a reality. There are large boulders there with individual photos and bios of the firefighters who died. It is such a sad story, but it felt good to visit and pay tribute to their young lives while honoring wildland firefighters everywhere. Well worth visiting. While heading out that way, go further to see the painted hills, quite stunningly gorgeous.

Sad. But we'll done.

Beautiful park, the. Monument is very impressive and made so beautiful as well... Plus its right next to the water and the kids playground fun spot to stop for an afternoon.

I saw this back in the late 90s. Wish it would have been preserved better. Such a beauteful tribute to those firefighters 🚒 👏

Very nice area for remembering the lost firefighters. Has other memorials surrounding the area as well.

Beautiful. Great place for a walk. Historical little site. Shade in summer.

This place is a gem! Right in downtown and easy to get to. Lots of local history to go though plus about everything else you can think of in a very well laid out museum. Nice and friendly staff and we spent about three hours looking around. One of the best we've been to in our travels.

This museum was a GREAT FIND! The displays were well constructed- all of the artifacts made sense and were shown off to great advantage. It was well worth a visit. The museum host, Sean, was personable & excited to show us around. He was happy to see out of town visitors. Despite the hours listed on Google- the museum is OPEN ON MONDAY’s during the summer Months. The website info is correct.

Brought my five kids as a homeschool field trip and was so impressed. My kids are all 8 and under so I wasn’t sure how much they would really get out it but there was so many interactive things we had a blast, of course the caboose was the biggest hit.

Admission is free. The layout is great. I personally enjoyed it and learned more about Prineville and Crook County. I'd recommend.

The twelve year old didn't want to explore at first but there were plenty of areas that interested him once he started to walk through. I loved the caboose outside. So fun to see how it looked inside. I loved the variety in this museum and the care it was all obviously under. I also loved the gift shop, I got a book I can't wait to read that was related to a display.

It has interesting displays of history of banking, timber and sawmills, ranching, railroading, Les Schwab tires and Native Americans. It also has a great selection of books for sale on historical and regional history.

Great little museum if you are interested in Prineville and Crook County history. There is a lot of information to take in and I didn't manage to read everything. Be sure to budget at least a couple of hours if you want to immerse yourself in the exhibits. If you just want to look without reading, you can probably do so within half an hour, but why?

We stayed at the airbnb at this beautiful and historic theater. It was such an amazing experience. The host, Ali, was kind and provided us full access to the theater during our stay. The place was clean. The kids absolutely loved the experience. We will definitely plan another stay in the location as we have family that lives in the area. Looking forward to our next trip/stay at Pine theater.

Just went to the theater for the first time with my 5 year old. We will definitely be going back!! The staff was friendly and the place was clean. The best part was the affordability!! We got all the snacks without breaking the bank!!

Tiny, dated, dirty, underwhelming facility. If that is your thing, then this is the place for you. This empty theater is in desperate need of an update. But, prices are reasonable. It would be nice if there was a balance between kids' movies and adult films. Consecutive weeks of nothing but kids' shows is no good.

What a fun little theater!! Absolutely love the atmosphere, the prices & most of the movies they bring in. I love that it's just a mile away.

Awesome, small town theater! Great prices! Very friendly staff! Pop corn isn’t that great, but still 5 stars!!

I simply Love 💜 this Hometown Theatre. It streams current flims as well as strong independent film titles that fit all types of Genres 🥰. Prineville is very fortunate to have a new owner wants to see all of us enjoy ourselves, if even only for a few hours at a time. The Staff is outstanding. Be kind to them please, I really like, and want to stay, thank you. 🕊️

Went a few times and had a great time, but two weeks in a row for the Mad Max Furiosa showing they were randomly closed with no announcement. Call before you show up, they seem to do this frequently.

Would try again. Food slow coming out of kitchen. There was a group of three before us. And we were a group of 5 who placed our order after small group got their food. Hash browns were just barely browned. Eggs were cooked as ordered. Nice, clean place..like I said.. I would try again.

Amazing day at and amazing course! Family was in town for a family reunion, decided to sneak in a round before the festivities, found this gem in prineville and let me tell you the views of the course are amazing , even coming down the hill overlooking it we were amazed! The course was in awesome shape , plush grass , well manicured greens ,. We were elated the whole day ! It took awhile as we walked and it is a large course , just more time for brews! The drinks were cheap and the fun was non stop! We let a few carted small groups play thru as we were taking our time enjoying the course. Took us about 4.5 hrs for 18 and we both had zero complaints! We’re already planning our trip back,. Best part ,. ITS SO AFFORDABLE! Paid a few bucks more then my local executive course I play weekly ,.. did I say I was coming back? Cuz I am !

Best city course I've ever played. Very well kept and a great restaurant to boot.

Very nice course, but don’t go unless you have 5+ hours for your round. I’ve played here twice in the past 2 weeks and both times have been too packed with big groups and slow play. Wasted $100 to only get through 6 holes in 2 hours

This is my happy place.

Found a hidden gem in Central Oregon. Meadow Lakes in Prineville is a gorgeous, perfectly maintained golf course with lush tee boxes, fairways, and greens. It is long, with water and sand on every hole. And ONLY $30 for 18 holes with a cart, after 3pm Mo-Th.

Great course, so green and lush this time off year (early summer). Newly paved cart paths!

While staying at the Eagle Crest Resort with friends a month ago we happened upon the art gallery of Alfred Dolezal. His unique paintings with accompanying descriptions and explanations gave us so much to ponder. His studio is on-site and we found him very personable and open to discussing his paintings with you. A pleasant surprise and wonderful stop on our trip!

I never had the opportunity to work one on one with such a brilliant artist. While I stayed a week at the Eagle Crest Resort, I reserved a one on one session with Alfred. Having not picked up a pencil in years it was a relief to get inspired so quickly within his art studio/gallery. I learned new techniques and having my piece framed by Patti,Alfred's dear wife, just made it a memorable moment in such a beautiful place. Next time I need to make more time to spend with his artwork in the gallery. Each piece tells such an in depth story. Thank you so much to Alfred and Patti , it will be just the first visit.

This was the highlight of my stay at Eagle Ridge Resort. Just so happened it was on a Sunday and we were going to church so what's right next door is this wonderful art gallery, well needless to say we never managed to get to church two hours later we're still there with the owner and his wife showing us and explaining to us he's art and the deep meanings of each peice. I could write a book on this man and his works but better to Google him and find out what he's really all about. You won't be disappointed I got to bring home some lovely gifts signed and framed

I took an art lesson from Alfred, he helped me with drawing, shading, over lapping with objects in front and back. I was drawing a hummingbird and one flew by the window and stayed there for us to watch. Lovely setting, left with a matted finished drawing.

Wasn't expecting what we found. Unique and diverse art with integrated meanings and perspectives. Picked up several prints that were applicable to our son and daughter as well as a couple that applied to my wife and myself. Very helpful staff. This is a don't miss gallery, even if you aren't looking to buy.

I brought my granddaughter in and had a wonderful time talking to the artist’s wife about the paintings and reading the stories behind them.

Cool little art gallery! AND its the only one your going to find without going into Bend. PLUS, the local scenery surrounding it is awesome. Go check out some beautiful art and then have a nice walk on the surrounding pathways.

This is a short trail down to the falls, but very beautiful. You start out on the trail from the south side of the highway and go under the bridge. The trail opens up, but just stay near the river and you will be good. Be careful as there are some taller cliffs you walk near. We extended our trip and followed the trail until we came upon a fence and private property. Please be respectful of the private property and turn around. There is a trail that you can go down to the river at this point. We ended up going back along the trail, but note there is a little scrambling and steeper trails here to get back up, but it makes it more fun, if you are up for the task. Overall a nice short trail with a beautiful waterfall, but if you want something with more vertical gain, or longer trail (it is only 1 mile round trip), look somewhere else. It is worth it if you are looking for a short jaunt though.

Absolutely stunning atea with beautiful short hikes. Cline Falls is awesome!

Beautiful view. Hike is easy and takes about 15 minutes.

Came here almost everyday while camping Smith rock campground. The fishing was excellent( catch and release) and caught a fish almost every cast.

Cute waterfalls and easy to hike there. I really enjoyed this one.

Brake plays for quick stop to take a dip in the water or to use the restrooms or just sit in the park and watch all the amazing things and listen to all their amazing sounds

This park is a great place for families to enjoy the river, with smooth waters that are not deep. We took the hike to Cline Falls, which is mostly an easy hike just more than a half mile, with a bit of uneven terrain. To get the best view of the falls will take moderate rock climbing skills which can be done by most people who are reasonably in shape. The falls offer a great place to explore as the water was not very deep. Excellent place to spend an hour or two with the family!

Overall a nice campground, lots of trees for shade in most sites, though the sites are not private. Good boat access and areas to fish from shore and a swimming area. However when we were there the water had a lot of algae.

A beautiful dark sky campground that lights up the night! We stayed in Cabin 1 and had a fantastic experience. It comes with an amazing view overlooking the reservoir and a great view of the clear, dark skies. We lucked out that we stayed over the new moon so the sky was extra dark and the Milky Way was visible. As for amenities, the deluxe cabin was really a game changer with the bathroom and shower. There's also a sink, microwave and mini-fridge. We did have to adjust the fridge as it was on low when we arrived and never seemed to get very cold. There are four beds, two in the main living room area and two in a side bedroom. The futon mattress in the front room had more cushion, though is not the most comfortable. The a/c and heater unit in the front area worked really well to keep a temperate climate. There were only a few downsides and more of a nitpick. While Cabin 1 has a nice view, it is also closest to the nearby parking lot for extra cars and boat visitors. Its patio area is also in direct sight of the nearby RV site and campsites, which in itself is fine but our inconsiderate neighbors had a bright, bright light that lit up the entire area at night that it was hard to see the stars until they turned it off. There is no cover away from the brightness on that side, so you are more likely to be disturbed by sound and light. It seems as if the cabin next to us would be better suited if you want more privacy and the same kind of view. Additionally, we really loved the trail to Jasper point and back (2 miles each way) that had fantastic views, but it is by no means a beginner hike and felt very dangerous at times while walking sideways on the steep side by the water. We had wished that there were more actual hiking trails, though walking along the shore and seeing out to the dock is a very nice, easy experience. A huge plus is the friendly and amazing ranger staff. Catie was fantastic when she drove over to check us in (there is no one at the kiosk) and helped get us a new propane tank for the grill as ours was completely bone-dry empty when we arrived. We also noticed a constant presence for cleaning and upkeep which was appreciated. It was a great trip and the night sky is one of the best views you can get! I would definitely recommend a cabin if possible, it's a great way to enjoy the outdoors with some better amenities and a fantastic little camp set up.

Go for the views and the lovely dog park with the coolest view. Stay for the staff!!! This is in middle oregon and the high desert mountain area. The nature and the animals, flowers and bugs are very different.So be prepared and get educated. They got some really cool people working here. I realize they change in and out. But there's something about the place that is very jolly. Like it attracts a really cool laid back vibe You're going to get those sky views that you want.Prineville is better than jasper.I think, but jasper you can pull in and claim a spot at any time. New law is you can stay 2 weeks.But then you have to leave for seventeen days. The best spots are obviously along the water overlooking the view. But if it's in the dead of summer, I would take the spots that are hidden amongst the trees along the bottom closer toward the dark sky parking lot. In the summer, they apparently hold dark sky, star viewings, and they break out the telescopes and everything.It's kind of a new thing, and i'm very excited to go see it next year. TrulyThe coolest people work here so much that you want to stay beyond the two weeks. I was told that it is best to go there in spring and summer early summer.Because then the water is a lot higher that is also when they hold the dark sky viewings. But I was there for the first two weeks of october, and it was still in the high 80s. The land there looks frozen in time and near eye.There are a bunch of really cool walks that wind through the very unique nature. Why are you still reading this go on then! It's only three hours from portland oregon! After this head over to ben to get the other end of the natural spectrum.And immerse yourself in the forest.

No cost boat launch. Plenty of parking especially during the weekdays. Fun camp spot. Clean bathrooms. Friendly camp host and rangers. Beach is built from asphalt, so bring a bag to fill with sand or rocks for your canopy.

The reservoir is perfect for fishing and swimming. Whenever we go fishing we always catch something and the views are a nice added bonus.

Great Dark Sky campground. Try to go when there's no moon. If you've always been a city slicker, it will blow your mind! Nice facility. Not much cell/Internet coverage, but just walk down near the boat dock if you need it.

5th OR state park we camped at. First visit & very impressed with how well grounds were maintained. Beautiful scenery with nice hiking trail under 2-miles to Jasper Point.

Had a wonderful stay at Brasada Ranch! The service was fantastic. The staff made me feel truly welcome, like a home away from home. My cabin, 37A, was peaceful and beautifully maintained, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The only things missing were a few small comforts like bedroom slippers, a robe, and better lighting along the walking paths at night. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’d love to come back again.

Had an amazing girls' week getaway at Brasada Ranch staying in Cabin 51! The 2-bedroom cabin was perfect for two of us - gave us each our own space plus a lovely common area to relax together. What really impressed me was how accommodating the staff was with my wheelchair and accessibility needs. While the cabin wasn't necessarily ADA approved, the staff went completely out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Their thoughtfulness and care made all the difference in our stay. We loved having everything on-site but also appreciated being able to easily get into Bend for additional activities and sightseeing. Dining at Wild Rye was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed the spa services - exactly what we needed for decompressing and unwinding. The ranch provided the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience. I would definitely come back again! **Important tip:** If you have any handicapped or special accessibility requests, definitely call ahead. The staff will work with you to make sure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Brasada Ranch for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with top-notch service!

Went in to the 24hr access pool 30 minutes prior to the regular hours closing. We were interrogated about whether we were supposed to be there or not even though we had the key card that was assigned to us less than 5 minutes earlier. I offered to scan the key card as proof but was told no and that I had to provide the address where we were staying. I became super annoyed because my hands were full with a baby in one hand and a bag in the other yet I had to look up a 6 digit address with a street name that no one would remember. I finally found it and recited it to her as if I was a child reporting to my school teacher. She finally accepted my final answer and I walked toward the pool. About 10 minutes later I decided to leave because it bothered me how I spent thousands of dollars to be here for a couple nights just to be investigated upon entry of the pool area. So I went to wait for my family in my truck. Then to top it all off, the woman (I’m assuming) at the desk decided to insinuate that I was abusive by asking my wife if she was safe because I went to wait in the truck I guess? I’m not sure what the hiring criteria is for Brasada Ranch but I’d recommend doing a better job considering your future staff. I understand gate keeping but repurposing that as a power trip is extremely uncalled for and unprofessional. I’ll never come back here and hope you don’t either.

What a beautiful oasis. The cabins are spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed with large walk-in showers, comfy beds and pillows, a mini-fridge, and a bright, inviting common area. Each room offers a lovely view while still feeling private. The ranch is expansive, and while I enjoyed walking the grounds (wildlife everywhere!), staff frequently offered friendly rides in golf carts or SUV, which is a small but much-appreciated perk. Every employee I met seemed genuinely happy to be there (and who could blame them?). The food is fresh and delicious, and the on-site stores and restaurants have everything you might need at fair prices. I already miss it!

We only played golf so this review is just about that. I've been playing golf for 49 years. This is one of a handful of courses around the world that I would consider the $250 green fees worth it to play it once. It is difficult, but not penal. Risk/Reward is well balanced. It is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommended. Fyi, I shot 76 with 6 three-putts. I don't blame the greens :-)

Had one of the best times at Brasada for my birthday! They even got me a little gift, which was so sweet. The lodge is huge and honestly one night isn’t enough—two nights would be perfect to relax. Loved the slides and the adult pool (the water’s so warm and clean), and the stars at night were incredible. Can’t wait to come back!

Overall a great experience but not without a few minor hiccups. The location is beautiful and the service overall was excellent but the staff had few oversights that complicated one of our afternoons. We stayed in one of the two-bedroom cabins and they were well equipped and cared for but starting to show some wear/tear and had a few small maintenance issues. For the price I expected a bit better but would recommend to anyone looking for a getaway in the area. Very kid friendly and lots of activities to keep you and your family busy.

I live in Sunriver on the NF boundary, and after calling the ranger station about a dead tree that threatened our infrastructure, they were extremely responsive and took care of the issue promptly and efficiently. Very grateful to have a very competent group as our rangers!

Friendly, knowledgable, patient people who are passionate about what they do and super helpful, also probably the most overqualified front desk staff I've ever met. I would go here just to hang out with these people. Also seems like a super cool place to work if the people are like that.

Someone picked up the phone right away and seemed friendly about answered backpacking questions. I totally understand that they don’t want to/don’t have time to plan people’s backpacking trips for them. That’s not their job. But I was trying to keep my questions concise and logistical (in total, the call was less than 4 minutes) Anyway, he entertained them at first but seemed incredibly hasty trying to get me off the phone, interrupting to say “Is there anything else I can help you with?” And then hanging up as soon as I said “Uh, I guess not.” I was really surprised with the abruptness!

Thank God we live in this great country that has had the foresight to preserve and protect such a wonderful and scenic area.

Clear Lake Resort, simple cabins, kayak & boat rentals

Stop your burning. Only the forest service can take a beautiful spring day and turn it ugly. Woke up by smoke, 3 am had to close all windows and try to make sense of what are these burn plans really doing. ? It’s over the top, the smoke has to be hurting us.

People around here really love there outdoors here and it shows. Lots of bike, horse, walking and even off road vehicle access. If your looking for bathrooms, showers, etc stick to a camp ground. Also remember, there's lots of private property scattered throughout.

Very sad you guys don't have the funds to line the trails with other than with cut down trees that create a fire hazard. The stairs u put in even have rebar showing by the school. Trails are very narrow not a lot of room for passing. How far is it around the butt and only one bathroom unless you climb to the top.

The butte itself was a cool experience to drive up since it was a constant curve that circles its way to the top of the hill. The lookout is cool from the top but there is nothing else there to see besides check out the view of bend and take a couple of pictures.

Great view of the entire area, only downside I think is the hikers should have their own trail or a wider trail so it's safer for people/cars

Took a drive up with the fam visiting Bend. Such a beautiful 360 overlook and a must for newcomers to the area. You can also go up as many of the locals do…walk!

Walking shoulder and driving lane to the top. Great views. Emergency restroom. Benches.

A pretty nice lookout point at the top. A decently sized path up but I'm sure some would argue it is narrow. Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time as it gets busy later in the day when the sun is setting. The air quality being ok in Bend really kills the view since you can't see the mountains clearly and only make out the outlines.

​Pilot Butte is an absolute must-visit landmark in Bend, offering one of the best "big payoff for little effort" experiences in Central Oregon. This extinct cinder cone volcano, located right within the city limits, provides unparalleled 360-degree panoramic views of the region. ​The main draw is the breathtaking vista of the Cascade Mountain Range, including clear sightlines to the Three Sisters, Mount Bachelor, and Mount Hood on a clear day. Looking east, you see the vast high desert, and below, the entire city of Bend sprawls out. ​Getting to the top is flexible: you can drive the paved, seasonal road (closed in winter) or hike one of the trails. The hike is short—about a mile one-way—but quite steep, providing an excellent, quick workout. The summit features informative plaques to identify the surrounding peaks. ​The atmosphere at sunset is legendary, with the city lights twinkling below and the Cascade peaks glowing, though it can get very crowded. Whether you hike up to "earn your view" or drive for accessibility, Pilot Butte is a quintessential Bend experience and a perfect spot to appreciate the scale of Oregon's high desert landscape.

We enjoyed our stop in Bend Oregon for the night. Great bars and restaurants. We also found Drake Park, which is a great place to walk along the river. But we also found that they hold free concerts every Thursday in July called Munch and Music. It's a family-friendly event with many events, booths, and food. We had a great time and enjoyed the band.

Drake Park has a lovely walking trail as well as water access, restrooms, picnic tables and large grassy areas. There is alot of street parking (4 hour max). There were people floating on paddle boards, there could be some good fishing within as well as alot of crayfish. There are beautiful homes along the waterfront as well as some resturants and downtown access from the parkway.

I'm an avid runner and I love enjoying every city's park for such an experience. This park is well maintained and I thoroughly enjoyed the river front and the small town vibes.

I really enjoy thos park, its big and it clean and somethings appears to be happening every weekend if not every day throughout this summer. My first time in 2 years going to listen to music in the park it was amazing They have clean bathrooms, bridges to take pictures, places to swim on the beaches of the river. Nice open grass space to have a picnic, do. Tightrope, walking yoga, seeing me, take a nap, sit in the hammock. People watch, its in the center of everything so if you forget it not a long walk to pick up whatever you left. I like walking the path along the river in Drake park, I just really like that park, it creates joy for me. Its a nice place to mayne push someone in a wheele chair and share the space. Music in the park will forever be special to me, It a space I feel free to be me respectfully while honoring others who share the park space with me.

Nice park with easy access to the river. Lord of folks tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, and canoeing. The grass area is pretty friendly and has grills to BBQ. Very busy on nice days.

Such a beautiful place, nestled in the heart of Bend.. A great place to walk your dog, we enjoy family time , jog, bike, picnic, etc. I love this park!!!!

Amazing park along the Deschutes River. Wonderful paved trails and rustic bridges make it a nice place to bring family. Lot of green grass to play Frisbee, ball, and the best spot to see the fall colors in Bend. Minutes away from downtown Bend and all the conveniences. There is ample parking along the road.

There are great spaces here. You can have your pets, kids, bike, walk, enjoy the river or event listen to a show at the Amphitheater without a ticket. But, there is little diversity in the type of shopping you can do - and I don’t mean variety. Why they would develop this space and not have a place for quick and easy snacks, drinks or more casual places for dinning is beyond me; other than the price of the rent. I love REI and they are an anchor in this area and I love what they did with the store and what they offer. But I only found one place to simply stop and have a quick meal/snack and maybe a beer. A great location to stay in a nearby hotel and explore Bend but there was a reason people that came to the area had brought coolers and food from other places.

This is a nice area along the river with walking and bike paths. Dog friendly. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Popular area for SUP and floating. There is a bridge to Hayden Homes amphitheater. Beautiful art and sculptures as well as history markers. Bend did it right with this area!

We came from southern eastern Oregon and had a really lovely time here. We checked our REI, Lush, and Sweet tooth and did a little bit of walking around and very much admired the river. We ate at Anthony's because that's my husband's name lol but it was very delicious

Love it!!! There is a variety of stores and good restaurants. There is a bridge when you can step and watch the water below, I believe is a river that goes below the bridge.

Extremely Gucci place for rich people who are also proud of flexing their outdoor lifestyle. This mall has very bussin surrounding no cap. Ultra skibidi bridge too.

This is a pleasant area featuring an outdoor mall along the river, with walking and biking paths. It offers a variety of shops and restaurants, with a directory available on the website. Free parking is available throughout the mall, though it can be difficult to find during peak hours.

I absolutely love this place and want to give it five stars, but they are really dropping the ball on the bathrooms this year and I’ve been coming here for years so that just makes me really sad to see. There is never toilet seat covers anymore, and every other night there is not toilet paper. I really feel like the old mill holds a higher standard than the way these bathrooms have been looking lately so I am very happy to return the five stars when they clean up. Other than that excellent shopping area excellent food area. But definitely have dropped the ball on an important staple of a shopping area: restrooms.

Somewhat easy hike to Tumalo Falls itself and then up to Double Falls. We enjoyed the scenery, and you can go down to Tumalo Creek to wade in places.

A great place to go! Road: the last two miles are gravel and dust. Any car or truck should be able to make this and need to be washed later. Parking: the first thing you’ll is a small overflow lot. This is where one pays a park fee of $5. Tap your credit card and out pops a pass. You can park here and walk a 1/2 mile to the trailhead. Or you can keep driving to find a parking spot along the road or at the small main lot at the entrance. We were there on a busy Sunday and found parking on the road. Falls: walk along the path for great viewpoints. If you go beyond the top of the falls, there are places for water access. Restroom: Yes. Nothing amazing but better than none at all.

This was an amazing opportunity to visit the falls! The weather was perfect and it was not that busy at all. The road does get a little bumpy but it was well worth the short drive from Bend! I could just stay there for hours you will get lost in the peace and quiet with the flowing water....amazing!

Nice hike. Elevation gain was steady. Beautiful views. Nice overlooks parking limited. Vault toilets. Main trail dogs are allowed. Side trails, no dogs.

Absolutely amazing. The walk up to the viewpoint is steep but manageable. Nice easy trip from Bend. The last couple miles is a little bumpy but easy for even a car.

Great, scenic, pictuesque out and back hike. Several waterfalls if you follow the tumalo creek trail. Easy, uphill hike.

Our first visit to the fall. I don’t believe I ever been here before even when I lived here in the 70s. It was a nice cool day and very light crowds. Yes there is a nice gravel portion of the road. Make sure you have decent ground clearance coming in. There’s some nice creators in the road.
