Friends and Neighbors (FANs) of the Deschutes Canyon Area

Overview:

Just minutes northwest of the fast-growing urban environment of Redmond, Oregon, a deeply incised river canyon confines the riffles and rapids of the Middle Deschutes Wild and Scenic River. Delight in the trailside pool at Steelhead Falls or challenge yourself to a short but strenuous hike at Scout Camp trail.

Know Before You Go:

  • Although public access to the river is ample, be sure to avoid intermingled private property when visiting the Middle Deschutes River.
  • Campfires are prohibited within 0.5 mile from the river™s edge from June 1 through October 15, annually.
  • Pets are allowed but should be leashed to prevent wildlife confrontations.
  • When recreating, practice Leave-No-Trace principles
