Bend To Tumalo State Park (Riverhouse Run)
As the river leaves the North part of Bend, much of the water gets diverted above in the many spillways and canals. This leaves a smaller feeling river for the next few miles that make up the Riverhouse Run. Because the flows are typically smaller here, watch for wood and other hazards in this area.
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Deschutes River are between a bare minimum of 500cfs and a high of 1,500cfs.
