Float or Paddle The Deschutes River

Looking for something fun to do in Bend when the weather gets warm? Look no further. The easiest way to make this happen is to take your crew down to Riverbend Park. There's ample parking, on-site rentals of all kinds, and a beach for launching. The park also features a lot of nice grass areas for picnics and relaxing. If you're planning on floating the river, there is a shuttle service that will pick you up and bring you back to the park. 

As the Deschutes River runs right through the heart of Bend, this is a very popular activity. Plan ahead, try and get there early, and have fun!
