This is a lovely, scenic little spot in Deschutes National Forest. The trail explores the stretch of the Deschutes River between the Aspen Day Use Area and the Lava Island Day Use Area. The area is popular with runners and dog walkers, and dogs are allowed off-leash in several sections. There are lots of birds in this part of the park. Look for owls, hawks, and bald eagles. If you're visiting in the warmer months of the year, bringing bug spray with you is a good idea. The mosquitos here can be relentless.
Driving directions: Take SW Century Dr to Dillon Falls Rd in Seventh Mountain 11 min (7.1 mi) ξ Take Conklin Rd/NF-41 to your destination 7 min (2.7 mi) Aspen Day Use Area Bend, OR 97702
ATTENDING EVENTS
Please read the entire event description before signing up and only sign-up for events within your capabilities. If you RSVP and can't make it...UNRSVP!
All events have an attendee limit. Attendee limits are determined by the nature of the event and the number of Event Hosts attending an event.
Events fill-up quickly. Members are encouraged to download the Meetup app to receive notifications for events as soon as they are posted.
When an event is full (reached its attendee limit), you may be assigned to the Waitlist. If spots open up, members are automatically RSVPed to the event in the order that they joined the Waitlist. Please be patient if youβre on the Waitlist. It's common for the head count to fall as an event gets closer, and most likely you will be RSVPed.
If you are unable to attend an event, please unRSVP prior to the event. This allows members on the Waitlist to be RSVPed. I don't need a reason or explanation as to WHY you can't attend.
No shows will be marked as such and after three no shows you will be a βno go.β
