Riverbend Park

Very nice large park next to the river with decent restrooms. The restrooms needed cleaning but otherwise it would have had 5 stars. It has a good size Pavillion that is covered.

This trail is close to town from just about anywhere. It's such a magnificent way to get out of my head and into the forest! 🌟

We were there for the High Desert Art Festival and we had a nice time. It was pretty crowded and parking was a bit hard to find, we parked at the Old Mill and walked over. Lots of people tubing down the river.

As tourist we wanted to do what the locals do and float on the river. BUT the water was freezing so we just walked around and took pix of the beautiful landscape. Very well maintained park and very dog friendly.

I loved this place so much. Was able to visit on my first day in Bend and the sun was out, people were out. Honestly so beautiful. I walked the trail along the riverside and almost cried because it was so calming. Just nature sounds and people casually chatting on their walks. Others were doing a variety of different water activities in the river itself.
