Just over an hour from Bend this access to the lower Deschutes River is a great day trip or overnight camp. The drive from Madras into the canyon is beautiful and the setting in the canyon is classic lower Deschutes.

A boat ramp, good restrooms, and some campsites that are on the river make this a great place to fish, hike, and camp. You will find a lot of fisherman here, especially in summer.
