The park is a place to have a picnic, play with your dog, put in your paddleboard, kayak, tube or for that matter air mattress and float along, or travel to the beginning of the 2.1mi. trail around part of the Deschutes River.
Look how beautifully maintained everything is. This is why we are here. Because Bend is Beautiful.
This park is huge, with views everywhere you look. There is even a dog water fountain, Bend was voted #1 Dog Friendliest City 2013. Coco and Crowe love that.
Just behind Dave and Crowe you can see where the river trail begins. We passed retired couples, moms and dads, mountain bikers and lots and lots of dogs. The river is beautiful. As we walked along the banks and around every bend we just couldn't stop taking in the sights. It never gets old.
This side of the River Trail is full of rapids and rushing water. Kayakers are brave enough to traverse it but it is best left for those with experience. The other side of the park is where the water slows to a lazy river and on a warm day tons of people are floating, paddleboarding and just swimming in the river.
It is so clean you can see all the way to the bottom.
Next Up: We tackle Smith Rock State Park!
