Sunriver, OR

A travel journal to Sunriver by Judy

Quote: A 3,300 acre resort community located 15 miles south of Bend,Oregon. Bordering on the Deschutess River and with breathtaking views of Mt. Bachelor, this is a wonderful place to visit and an even nicer place to live.

Sunriver, OR

Overview

Quote:

25 miles of bicycle trails, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, hiking, 2 golf courses, 22 tennis courts, racquetball and fishing too. You can do just about anything here. Downhill ski on Mt. Bachelor or cross-country ski on the 25 km of groomed trails at the resort.

Quick Tips:

Most of the visitors rent a condo or a private home and spend a week or so. Sunriver Lodge is also an option for shorter stays.

Best Way To Get Around:

Drive to Sun River then park the car and rent a bicycle. It gets rather busy in the summer and traffic can get congested. An airport is on the grounds for those who like to fly small planes.

Biking

Story/Tip

Quote:

Bring your own bike or rent one there, but be sure to take a relaxing ride on the more than 25 miles of paved bike paths. The scenery is terrific and includes the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Mountains. Pathways run along the river and thru the entire community. Very lovely.

X-Country Skiing

Story/Tip

Quote:

25 km. of groom trails for Nordic skiing are available here. For the more adventure seeking individual, you can head out for the Deschutes National Forest or the Three Sisters Wilderness areas. Central Oregon is spectacularly beautiful in the snow. Conditions are excellent as the snow is dry.

Whitewater Rafting

Story/Tip

Quote:

The Deschutes River provides plenty of excitement for rafters. Several options are available including a three hour 'mini-thriller' or an all day trip which includes lunch. Trips leave from the Sunriver Marina. This activity is a lot of fun and well worth checking out. Prices vary according to the type of trip you book.
