Deschutes River State Recreation Area
Deschutes River State Recreation Area, State recreation area at river confluence in The Dalles, Oregon.
The recreation area spans 35 acres where the Deschutes River meets the Columbia River, providing opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking.
The park establishment began in 1955 through efforts of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, with land acquisitions completed in 1963 through multiple purchases.
The Lower Deschutes area holds significance for Warm Springs and Wasco tribes, who have maintained fishing traditions in these waters for generations.
The park features 34 recreational vehicle sites with electricity and water, plus 25 primitive camping spots, alongside shower facilities and maintained grass areas.
Trains pass near the campground while the Deschutes River contains three notable rapids: Washout, Rattlesnake, and Moody in its final 25-mile stretch.
