Bend Active and Adventure Travel Tips

By Karen Kefauver

Paddlers should not miss the triple waterfalls of the Deschutes River. The Deschutes, Metolius, and Crooked rivers also offer fantastic fly-fishing.
If you enjoy endless mountain-biking singletrack and want a 20- to 30-mile adventure, ride from Todd Lake to Bend. Start at the trailhead up in the Cascades near Broken Top Mountain and ride lots of downhill to town.
Parking passes are important! Most Deschutes and Willamette National Forest trailheads require a national forest recreation pass. Buy one before you leave town.

For the webfoots who spend months under gray skies west of the Cascades, that's a powerful attractant. Read More
