The topography of Oregon is ribboned with wondrous rivers, and there are countless stretches of water that are perfect for a peaceful inner tube ride. One of those places is the Deschutes River near Bend. Check it out:
The Deschutes River is a stunning 250-mile body of water that winds through central Oregon. In the summertime, the stretch of the Deschutes near Bend is a perfect place to take a relaxing river float.
