Upper Falls — Deschutes River

Highlight • Waterfall

Great location to view the pristine water and the beautiful everchanging colors of the surrounding Aspen trees. Excellent spot for birdwatchers with plenty of different species native to the area. During the summer months, plenty of rafters float this stretch.
