The Deschutes River’s fame as a fly-fishing spot among trout
anglers is matched by its reputation as a top steelhead river.
The last two miles of the river are reserved for bank fishing
only. Remember to observe the strict no-bait requirement
and carefully follow all fishing regulations.

Deschutes River
State Recreation Area
The park has three trails reserved just for hikers.
Enjoy a 32-mile round-trip bicycling experience by following
the Old Railbed Trail 16 miles up the canyon and back.
Camping is allowed along the trail, but strict regulations
are enforced. The trail is an easy, flat grade, but mountain
bikes are recommended due to the dirt and gravel surface.
Be prepared with a patch kit in case of a flat tire–it’s a long
walk back. Also, make sure to take plenty of water; summer
temperatures can rise to 110 degrees.
