Central Oregon has amazing, easily accessible hiking trails for all levels. Permits are required for some of the more popular trails. Check the Forest Service website for more info. If you have questions about specific trails or areas don't hesitate to reach out, we're happy to help!

With no shortage of rivers and lakes it's not a surprise Central Oregon is home to great fishing. The Deschutes, Metolius, and Crooked River are all renowned for fly fishing and you can drop a line at any of the local lakes as well. Contact Sean and he'll point you toward his favorite spots. Our favorite local shop is Fly and Field in Bend.

With 25 courses to choose from, you're sure to find one that's right for you! Our golf fiends recommend the courses below:

Budget: Back Nine or the Greens at Redmond

Bougie: Black Butte for a course closest to Sisters, Tetherow in Bend, and farther out Pronghorn or Crosswater.

The Deschutes river runs straight through Bend. A summertime favorite activity is floating the river! You can also paddle board or kayak right in town on the river as well or take the adventure up to any of the Cascade Lakes. Ask Lauren for her favorites!

A walk down Main street in the old western town of Sisters will have endless gift and novelty stores to pop into.

Shopping in Bend is both downtown and in the Old Mill. Downtown will have more local boutiques and the Old Mill has more chains with a few local favorites sprinkled in too.

Some of our all time favorite activities! There are too many places we love to list them all but here are a few of our favorites (mainly in Bend but a few Sisters spots too):
