“It was the kind of snow that brought children running out their doors, made them turn their faces skyward, and spin in circles with their arms outstretched.”- Eowyn Ivey

Check out this wintery view of the Deschutes River, looking towards the Deschutes River Trail and Columbia Park. Read more about this park and trail at: https://www.bendparksandrec.org/park/columbia-park/

There’s snow outside the window - Let's go! Here are some winter adventure recommendations for talking a beautiful walk or hike in Bend parks and trails.
- Pine Nursery Trail:
This is a great loop trail for any time of year, but especially in winter because Park Services regularly removes snow from its surface. The trail is relatively level and offers great views of the Cascades as it gently meanders through the park.
- Drake Park pathways:
Features include nearly a half mile of riverfront, acres of open lawn, scenic views.
- Riverbend and Farewell Bend parks:
Includes a paved and cleared fitness loop, access to the Deschutes River Trail, views of the river and wildlife, and plenty of open space.
Remember to bundle up and bring all your needed winter gear! For more options on winter walks and adventures, visit our Winter in Parks webpage at: https://www.bendparksandrec.org/parks-trails/winter/.
