Deschutes River Trail - South Canyon Reach - Bend, Oregon Hiking Trail

Deschutes River Trail - South Canyon Reach - Bend, Oregon Hiking Trail.

We hiked the Bend river trail, and what a fantastic little hike it is! We've been hiking this trail for years, and both of our kids have done it several times, but it's always as beautiful as the first time. The South Canyon Reach section starts in the Old Mill District (we started at Farewell Bend Park and the Bill Healy bridge) and goes about 1.5 miles back to the footbridge. After that you follow the other side of the river for another 1.7 miles back to where you started. It's a great loop trail, and right in the middle of town. It can get a little crowded on nice days and weekends, so parking can be an issue. You can start the trail from several places, check local/online maps to find which works best for you.
