BEND, OREGON. IT S WHERE YOU GO TO PLAY!

Ever get the feeling someones

talking about you behind your

back?

When it comes to Bend,

theres lots of pointing and

whispering going on, but

thats not such a bad thing.

In fact, weve racked up a

nice array of glowing praise

in publications ranging from

Outside magazine to the New

York Times.

Whether theyre raving about

our running trails or gushing

about our golf courses, folks

cant stop buzzing about what

makes Bend the countrys

hottest outdoor playground.

Want to hear the rumors?

says about the little mountain

town that has it all...

A funny thing happened in Bend recently: the town, long a hub for skiers and climber

s, became

a certified SUP boomtown. The sport is so popular here that you can build your own bo

ard with

Eager Beaver Surf Company. The reason for the surge is simple: variety. The Cascade Lak

es of the

Deschutes National Forest, about 30 miles southwest of town, offer prime flatwater

paddling

under the icy gaze of 9,065-foot Mount Bachelor. Or head to Riverbend Park and work y

our way

downstream through the Old Mill District, where plans for a new whitewater park are un

der way.

-Outside magazine (naming Bend the worlds top stand-up paddle boarding getaway)

GO HERE! DOWNTOWN BEND

Bend offers a multisport bounty, especially in the spring. Mt. Bachelors 3,683

acres of resort skiing sit 22 miles from town and 10,000-foot volcanoes dot the

western skyline. The local Nordic club grooms 40 kilometers and volunteers carve

new singletrack into the surrounding Ponderosa forest each year. Class IV and V whitewat

er tumbles right through

town, while a mellow stretch of the Deschutes River is chock full of standup paddleboar

ders. For climbers, Smith

Rock State Park is just a short drive away.

-Mountain magazine

Once a frontier logging town called Farewell Bend, this picturesque city of 80,000 is a seductive spot for travelers who are into craft brewing and the great outdoors. The Bend region has 26 breweries, three wineries, two craft spirit distilleries, two cideries and the Cycle Pub, a tour that allows visitors to quaff craft beers while powering a sort of mobile pub by cycling.Bend has nearly 300 miles of single-track mountain bike trails, including two new ones, Tylers Traverse and Duodenum; a soon-to-open fat-bike trail (at Wanoga Sno-Park); world-class skiing at Mount Bachelor; and an embarrassment of riches for hikers, fishermen, climbers, stand-up paddle boarders and kayakers. -The New York Times (naming Bend one of the top 52 places in the world to visit in 2015)

Bend is a fast-growing, adventure paradise of more than 76,000 people in central Oregon that happens to have the regions premier ski area, Mount Bachelor, 22 miles west up the road. If you ever dream of skiing in the Pacific Northwest, Bachelor is the kind of mountain you dream about. A 9,000-foot stratovolcano lined with high-speed quads and skiable down every side, its a huge, diverse area which, being on the drier, east side of the Cascades, has lighter snow than the Pacific cement that coats most mountains in the region.-National Geographic Traveler (naming Bend one of the top 25 Ski Towns in the World)

Home to taverns with crackling fireplaces and plenty of good restaurants, Bend offers enough to do that visitors can take their snow in large doses or small. Just 22 miles away, Mt.

Among cities in beer-crazy Oregon, Bend now has the most craft breweries

per capita. Some locals have started calling this Beer City USA. More

breweries are opening soon Before happiness was measured by hoppy-ness here

, visitors came for

skiing, river sports, hiking and mountain biking in nearby Deschutes National Forest, or

rock climbing on

world-famous Smith Rock, just up Highway 97. Maybe it was natural that a town full of ext

reme skiers, crazy

paddlers and rock jocks would take to beer.

There are plenty of great mountain bike towns in America, but most have a downside

That

brings us to our pick for the best mountain biking town in America. A drum roll, please

. Bend,

Oregon. The place was originally named Farewell Bend, because early travelers were so bu

mmed

to continue their trip west. All the things that attracted those early pioneers are what a

ttract

mountain bikers today. Dont believe us? Weve got thirty-five reasons to back up our clai

m that

Bend is the best mountain biking town in America.

Want to check out Bends lakes and rivers from a totally new perspective? Give standup paddleboarding (SUP) a shot. In March 2014, Outside magazine declared Bend the worlds top spot for an SUP getaway, and were inclined to agree.

Paddle-sports are the fastest growing segment of Bends self-propelled sports scene. On the Deschutes River, theres flatwater and whitewater for avid kayakers, canoeists, and rafters as well as the popular townie run that attracts thousands of floaters in everything from inflatable mattresses to inner tubes throughout the summer.

A major paddle-sport development has been the formation of the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance (BPTA) to create a long-distance Deschutes River trail from the rivers headwaters to Lake Billy Chinook. BPTA maps, available at the Bend Visitor Center, show put-ins, take-outs, camping spots and the difficulty of each section of the river trail.

A whitewater park on the river in town (opening late 2015) will be the first of its kind in Oregon and provide controlled waves for kayaking, surfing, boogie and paddle boarding.

PADDLE PLAY For kayakers and rafters, a popular Deschutes River run is from Aspen Camp to Lava Island Falls via the Big Eddy rapids. This Class III+ run is a few miles south of Bend and is best undertaken from late spring until late fall. Daily guided rafting adventures are offered on this stretch of river by both Sun Country Tours and the Seventh Mountain River Company.

For a full day of rafting excitement, Ouzel Outfitters and Sun Country Tours offer trips on the lower Deschutes River near the rafting town of Maupin. Big splashy class IV rapids like Boxcar and Oak Springs deliver a thrilling experience.

In town, local kayakers gather at the First Street Rapids Park, to play in the churning waters and to hone their skills before slipping into faster current. Rent your own kayak, canoe, or tube just steps from the river at Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe.

Apart from the Deschutes, the Cascade Lakes region, a short drive from Bend, is a mecca for recreation and touring kayak paddlers and canoeists from all over the world.

Long before the Bend area became famous as a self-propelled sports enthusiasts destination, it was known for its fishing. In addition to year-round fishing for trout and steelhead, Bend is surrounded by nationally renowned rivers, streams, and lakes that provide anglers with a mind-boggling abundance and variety of world-class fishing opportunities.

Rated by Fly Fisherman magazine as one of the top 10 Fly-Fishing towns in the U.S., Bend is truly a fly-fishing paradise. Cast your line over the fast-flowing Tumalo Creek below Tumalo Falls, the gin-clear Fall River south of town, and stretches of the Deschutes River either right in town or just a few miles outside Bend.

There is no one best season for stream and river fishing as sections of the Deschutes

HOOK, LINE , & SINKERare open to fly-anglers throughout the winter. In early summer, theres a significant salmon fly hatch and, come fall, many big browns start to migrate from the Deschutes into smaller feeder streams.

When it comes to lake fishing, the Cascade Lakes region is noted for its good-sized rainbows especially in Crane Prairie Reservoir. For the ultimate challenge, try Hosmer Lake, home to large brookies and landlocked Atlantic salmon.

Brush up on your skills at the 12-hole casting course in the Old Mill District. Its the first permanent casting course in the country, and you can pick up a brochure at the Old Mill Ticket Mill.

Except where otherwise noted, Bend area streams, rivers, and lakes are open to bait and spin fishing generally for rainbow, brook, and brown trout. Bass fishing, while limited mostly to ponds, is popular on Crane Prairie and Wickiup reservoirs, and Davis Lake.

PLAY :: SHOP :: EAT :: DRINK :: SPA :: ART :: FAMILY FUNWHAT TO DO

IF artists are inspired by breathtaking natural beauty, its no wonder Bend has one of the most vibrant art scenes in the Pacific Northwest. Downtown Bend and the Old Mill District are teeming with galleries featuring art in a variety of mediums, much of it inspired by our gorgeous high desert landscape. The first Friday of each month, local galleries and businesses throw open their doors for the First Friday Art Walk. You can sip wine and stroll the bustling streets, stopping to scope out the artwork, do a little shopping, or even meet the artists.

Every August, artists from the U.S. and Canada bring their work for the Art in the High Desert Festival along the banks of the Deschutes in the Old Mill District. Even if youre not making an extra effort to see Bends art, youre bound to stumble across it thanks to a public initiative called Art in Public Places. If live music is your scene, weve got it in spades. Every summer, the Les Schwab Amphitheater hosts some of the worlds hottest musicians from country to rock to jazz.

For year-round entertainment, check out the Tower Theatre, the restored historical venue named for the brightly lit spire rising 78 feet above Wall Street, which hosts an array of talent. Its also a great place to catch BendFilm each October, an avant-garde festival featuring indie films.

TIN PAN ALLEY ART COLLECTION NATE WYETH

Art looks different in Bend, Oregon. It has skinned knees and a gleeful, good-time grin. It doesnt sit stiffly on the walls of some museum. Our art knows how to have fun. After all, our art plays outside.

The Roundabout Art Route is a collection of nearly two-dozen pieces of public art on display throughout the city in the most unlikely places at the center of Bends traffic circles. The circles, also filled with plants, flowers and trees, are designed to keep traffic flowing around the city.

Each roundabout holds a unique display of art designed to enhance the cultural environment for Bend visitors and residents. Its sponsored by Art in Public Places, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing art to the community of Bend. In 2005, Americans for the Arts honored these sculptures as being among the most innovative approaches to public art in the country.

Its easy to do the Roundabout Art Route at your own pace. Just pick up the map at the Bend Visitor Center and make your way around the city. Answer the trivia questions on your map and bring it back to the Bend Visitor Center for a one-of-a-kind prize.

If you prefer to have a guided tour by one of the coolest tour guides around, John Flannery of The Bend Tour Company offers Roundabout Art Route tours like the Bend Art Safari.

Think of it as an art tour for active souls, offering 360-degree views of art against the backdrop of the most beautiful, vibrant, and quirky town in the nation. Bend, Oregon our art plays outside!

ONCE youve gotten wrapped up in all Bend has to offer, youll want a little something wrapped up to take home with you. The bonus: its all tax-free!

The cosmopolitan vibe of downtown Bend beckons you to indulge your passion for fashion, fine art, home dcor, jewelry, and more. The scene is brimming with small, hip boutiques like clothier Hot Box Betty, vintage Western boutique Cowgirl Cash, one-of-a-kind jewels by Douglas Fine Jewelry Design, and quirky-cool Dudleys Bookshop Caf with an abundant selection of wine, beer, and snacks to enjoy while you browse for books.

Then head for the historic Old Mill District for brand-name national and local retailers. Look for the three towering silver smokestacks that were once part of the Brooks-Scanlon lumber mill from Bends timber era. The historic brick building has been converted into outdoor retailer REI, while popular chains like White House Black Market, Buckle, and Zumiez offer something for everyone. Local gems like Vanilla Urban Threads, Nashelle Jewelry, and Gingers Kitchenware round out the eclectic mix, and the backdrop of the Deschutes River lets you scope out otters and kayakers while you scout for deals.

If bargains are your bag, try the Bend Factory Stores on Bends south end to browse outlets by Nike, Coach, and Columbia Sportswear. For a more traditional shopping experience, visit Bends own Macys store in the Bend River Promenade. The Cascade Village shopping center flanks the north end of town with big-box retailers and a charming outdoor plaza.
