This park encompasses stretches of two scenic rivers, the Deschutes River and the Fall River, which are known for excellent fishing although this was a sight seeing trip and not a fishing trip. My wife and I were on a four day visit to this area of Oregon to visit Sue's cousin and his wife who had invited us to stay with them in a nice townhouse in Sunriver near Bend. Our hike started at the McGregor Memorial Viewpoint but there are several locations along the trail accessible by road which could be used as starting points. This hike was one of our side trips to explore the area. It is an easy 4.6 mile walk on a groomed trail with little elevation gain. The first half of the trail is along the two rivers and is amazing for their views of these beautiful rivers. The rivers beg old fishermen like Mark and I to grab our fly rods and hit the banks. The other half of the trail loops back through thick 2nd or 3rd growth forest and is not that remarkable. If I were to do it again I would make it an out-and-back along the rivers and extend it further up a trail which follows the Fall River (and bring my fly rod). 
Note: The gps track is a little funky not showing the first mile due to my inexperience at using Route Scout. I activated tracking at the beginning of the hike and stuck my Smartphone in my pocket while it was attempting to download maps off a spotty cell phone connection. For some unknown reason it failed to record our track for that first mile. |
