365 Things to do in Bend, OR - Float the Deschutes River.  It is a hot, hot Central Oregon Day.  I can't think of a better way to spend it than floating down the Deschutes River from Riverbend Park, by the Old Mill District into Drake Park.  This may seem like an obvious idea to long time residents but you must admit it's a good one.

A few things to know when floating the Deschutes River:

Where to Start your float: Riverbend Park or a little further west are great places to put your raft, tube, boat, floatie or Stand Up Paddle Board in the Deschutes River.

Be cautious around the Colorado Street Dam.  Follow the orange bouys and exit the Deschutes River, walk around the dam then continue your relaxing float down to Drake Park.

Plan ahead, it's a leisurely float down the Deschutes river and great exercise to paddle back up. If you're not into the exercise part you can catch a ride for $1 on the Ride the River Shuttle. Click the link for the daily Ride the River Shuttle Schedule

SAFETY RULES for floating the Deschutes River:

1. State law requires that each floating device carry one Coast Guard approved life jacket for each person on board.
2. Children age 12 and under are required to wear life jackets.
3. Bend City ordinance prohibits possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages on or in the Deschutes River.
4. Please keep the Deschutes River and natural areas clean by packing out anything you bring in and only exiting at designated areas. A river map and review of the safety rule are available on the Bend Parks and Recreation webiste.
   

So get out there, stay cool and have a relaxing day floating the Deschutes! Tonight being Thursday, is also Munch & Music at Drake Park, if you float in around 6pm you can get dinner at the park or listen to the tunes on the river.

My Deschutes River floating pictures didn't turn out today, guess I'll have to float the river another day and take new pics!  For more fun things to do in Bend, Oregon check out our website or Like Things to do in Bend on Facebook!

Today is day 42 of days over 100 degrees in Tucson for 2010.  When it gets this hot my thoughts turn to cool colors (Blue and Green) and water.

The Lakes at Castle Rock is a unique community.  Tucson doesn’t have very many communities where there is water or a lake.  There are 14 lakes at the Lakes at Castle Rock.

There is something for almost everyone except the water skiers.  No power boats on these lakes.

If you want to see what is available here is the link to Castle Rock Available Listings.
