A series of three parallel trails through pine forests and lava flows along the variously placid and tumultuous Deschutes River. Separate trails were built for hikers, horses, and bicycles. Cyclists also share the hiking trails in some parts. The trails are a total of about 30 miles along the Deschutes National Forest. Some nice spots along the trails are Benham Falls and Dillon Falls. Other activites like rafting and trout fishing prove enjoyable here as well. The trails are easy to moderate through different locations and only standard gear apllies.
The best way to learn of all the spots in and around the deschutes National Forest is to pick up a park map ($6-$8) which shows all the trails and roads. This park has a lot of numbered back roads that require a 4 wheel drive vehicle and seem to be great for 4 wheelers and ATV's (all terrain vehicles). In the summer the visitor's center is open and will direct you to where you would like.
