Sunriver,
Oregon is best known for its year-round resort and recreation
opportunities. Nestled at the base of the Cascade Mountain Range, 15 miles from the city of Bend, and less than 20 miles from the Mt. Bachelor Ski area, Sun River is popular with skiers and sun-seekers alike. Sunriver�s warm, dry summers and temperate winters have become a magnet for hikers and skiers, as has its proximity to national landmarks like Crater Lake National Park and Newberry National Volcanic Monument. The 3,300-acre community lies on the eastern shores of the Deschutes River, which is famous for its steehead and Redsides trout. Fishing enthusiasts enjoy this dry-fly river for its ideal late summer weather and larger than normal trout. For those who enjoy guided backcountry trips, there is a wide variety of professional outfitters to choose from in the Sunriver area. Surrounded by the Deschutes National Forest, Sunriver provides the ideal setting for horseback riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, canoeing and backcountry hiking and camping. Short-term and long-term lodging is available in Sunriver, as well as an ample choice of dining opportunities. Good roads connect the area with the major Oregon cities of Portland, Eugene and Medford. The community operates a small airport for private planes and is located just south of the Bend-Redmond Airport, which is serviced by several national airlines.
