TUMALO FALLS DAY USE AREA
Campground Restrictions
  • Stock, dogs, bikes and camping are all prohibited inside the Bend Municipal Watershed.
  • Due to very limited parking and high use, there is a 27 foot vehicle length limit at Tumalo Falls Trailhead. Even then, the parking area fills early and can often remain at overflow capacity on busy days.
  • Please pay close attention to "NO PARKING" signs on one side of the entrance road. These sections of roadway must remain open to avoid traffic hazards and permit larger emergency vehicle access.
