Deschutes, Oregon Wild and Scenic River (Recreational) · Open Access
The best population of stream-inhabiting German brown trout in the state lives in the Deschutes River below Wickiup Reservoir. Highly accessible and easy to drift, the river changes dramatically below Wickiup Dam to become a slow, meandering, powerful body of water.
There is a campground at this site as well.
From Bend, OR: Head south on Highway 97 for approximately 27 miles and 8 miles west on County Road 43, then you will see a sign for the campground on the sound side of County Road 43.
