One of our favorite spots, and where we had our engagement photoshoot! There are easy, medium, and difficult hiking trails, look at AllTrails or ask us for recommendations! Dog friendly (on-leash). Requires an Oregon State Parking Pass, available on-site
Quick 1/2 roundtrip mile to see Tumalo Falls! Or, turn it into a 2-6 mile roundtrip hike! Tumalo Falls is in our watershed and many trails are not dog-friendly, we recommend leaving your furry friends at home. Requires a forest-service day permit (available just before the parking lot) or Northwest Forest Pass
If you prefer to stay in town, or would like accessible walking options, Deschutes River Trail runs right through town!
