A useful connector trail in southwest Bend is the Haul Road Trail. Located on Old Mill railroad routes, Haul Road Trail travels west from the Deschutes River Trail at McKay Park and the Bend Whitewater Park to the Deschutes National Forest. It parallels Colorado Ave. and travels along Century Dr. and eventually Cascade Lakes Highway.

The trail continues west on Deschutes National Forest to Rimrock Trailhead, US Forest Service sections of the Deschutes River Trail, the Cascade Lakes Welcome Station, and an extensive network of mountain biking and hiking trails such as Phil’s Trail.

Additionally, Haul Road Trail’s surfaces are being repaired and the last 1.5 miles will be paved to an accessible standard.

We greatly appreciate our volunteers! Did you know that groups, businesses, schools, families, or individuals can adopt a park, off leash area, or section of Bend’s urban trail system?

Volunteers help care for their adopted space by visiting regularly – picking up litter, pulling invasive weeds and keeping an eye out for vandalism, weather damage, and potential safety hazards. Volunteers help keep Bend’s parks, trails and off leash areas beautiful and safe places for everyone to enjoy!

June 5 is National Trails Day! It’s a day to encourage discovery of our local trails and share enthusiasm for the outdoors. A few suggestions in NE, NW, SE, and SW Bend include:

• NE: Pine Nursery Park Trail - Paved trails throughout the park and features a 1.25 mile paved loop trail.

• NW: Riley Ranch Nature Reserve - Trails navigate through open meadows, juniper and pine forests, lava flows, cliffs, and the river’s rocky canyon.

• SE: Stone Creek Park Trail - A looped trail system that offers views to China Hat Butte and even Newberry National Volcanic Monument.

• SW: Alpine Trail - offers stunning views of the Cascade Mountains.

To all those who have served and given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and community, we honor you this Memorial Day.

A special place of remembrance in our community is the Bend Heroes Memorial Plaza at Brooks Park. The plaza is dedicated to local veterans and first responders. The memorial is paved with inscribed bricks, which are dedicated in tribute and in memory of people who have served our country and community. Overlooking Mirror Pond, it is a beautiful riverfront park to visit today and every day. Enjoy your Memorial Day!
