If there's one experience that captures the spirit of Bend, it's a walk along the Deschutes River Trail. Stretching through the heart of the city, this scenic network of paved and natural paths follows the Deschutes River past parks, forests, neighborhoods, and some of Bend's most popular attractions.
At Riverhouse Lodge guests can step outside and enjoy miles of riverside walking without ever getting in the car. Whether you're starting the morning with a quiet stroll, getting in a run before breakfast, or unwinding after a day of exploring, the Deschutes River Trail offers beautiful views in every season.
Heading south, the trail connects visitors to Drake Park, downtown Bend, and the Old Mill District, making it easy to explore local shops, restaurants, breweries, and public art while staying close to the river. Along the way, you'll likely spot kayakers, paddleboarders, fly anglers, and an abundance of wildlife that call the Deschutes home.
For visitors looking to experience Bend at a slower pace, the Deschutes River Trail is a must. Staying at Riverhouse Lodge means one of Central Oregon's most iconic outdoor experiences begins just steps from your guest room, offering the perfect blend of nature, recreation, and convenience.
