Outdoor Activities in La Pine State Park

La Pine State Park occupies a scenic spot along the trout-filled Upper Deschutes River in a high desert subalpine forest. The quiet, shady campground connects to 14 miles of multi-use trails that follow both sides of the river and link key park landmarks. You could find plenty to fill your time right in the park, from hiking and mountain biking to fishing and floating. La Pine is also centrally situated for exploring the iconic landmarks of central Oregon, including the Deschutes National Forest, Newberry Crater, and Lava River Cave. During the winter, enjoy snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on the park trails, while staying in one of the 10 cozy cabins. Summer calls for boating, wading, and floating. Spring and fall are primed for viewing wildlife.

Deschutes River Day-use Area

The Deschutes River day-use area alongside the river has a picnic area, flush restrooms, and a swim beach (no lifeguard). A reservable picnic area features picnic tables, a fire pit, and a small grill. This area closes in the winter, but you can still access it by trail. The Deschutes River boat ramp and parking area are open seasonally. You'll want to note that only hand-carry watercraft are allowed. No trailers are permitted on the boat ramp due to ongoing construction. McGregor Memorial Viewpoint is open year-round, looking over a scenic bend in the river, and is the gateway to the park's 14 miles of trails that connect to the campground and other park areas.
