The best time to be on the water in Bend paddling is evening, IMO...

Tried for an early morning paddle on Elk Lake, but where we went to was too shallow to put on easily. (The main access points are still good.)
It was so beautiful that we just enjoyed the morning fog waking up over the lake.

Last night's sunset to today's blue skies. The views of the Deschutes River in Bend are always beautiful!

Our office is right across from Mirror Pond. Pick up an overnight rental and go directly to the water, or come by to book a delivery to one of two docks just on the path outside our door.

Even better over the water! We definitely aren't taking this for granted... if you need to get out or are making plans for the weekend. The forecast is green for air quality. We are so thankful!

Well, the world is on fire... but last night the air felt clear over Hosmer Lake and the smoke in the distance made for a beautiful sunset.
Sometimes you have to choose the moments to enjoy the beauty, even when it feels like everything is burning down.

Did you know that you can get last minute rentals from our office at 360 NW Vermont St.?

Kathy signed up for a pool refresher, and then came out to practice in her kayak on the river for a play session.

Escaping to Elk Lake for a paddle now that the skies are clear again. What a treat, with glossy water and reflections of the moon.

The skies are clear in Bend even as we know that fires rage around Central Oregon. Hoping that the firefighters are safe as they fight for our neighbors homes and towns close by.
