About this business
Bend Whitewater Park in Bend, Oregon offers kayakers and surfers an exciting artificial wave experience right on the Deschutes River. The facility features three distinct channels - a gentler passageway for tubing, a skilled whitewater section for experienced paddlers, and a surfing wave that attracts boarders year-round. While the park can get crowded during peak summer months, its innovative design and natural river setting provide both locals and visitors a unique urban water sports destination that's become a cornerstone of the city's outdoor recreation scene.
