Location : Sunriver, Deschutes National Forest
The Fall River is a spring-fed stream that winds through old-growth ponderosa pine forest until joining the Deschutes River near Sunriver in Central Oregon. With its crystal-clear, cold water and adjacent old-growth forest, the Fall River provides important habitat for fish and wildlife species. This out-and-back hike follows the river to its headwaters which, seemingly out of nowhere, ‘spring’ from the ground. The Fall River and its many recreational, ecological, and aesthetic values are proposed to be protected in the River Democracy Act.
