"In August 2002, my family joined other family members in Sunriver. Our favorite activity as a family is floating down the Deschutes. We rent approximately three canoes, pack a lunch with quench drenching beverages, load up the kids, and away we float. We take our time and we thoroughly enjoy the trip which takes us about four hours.
Now that's what we call having fun in the sun!"

Fort Rock Park and the Sunriver Marina, located along the big Deschutes River add to the appeal of Sunriver.
The Deschutes River is an ideal float trip river. The river can get very fast and make for an exhilarating rafting ride in some areas--see Sun Country Tours for this adventure--but for the most part, your float trip will be unhurried and provide you with a way to stay cool in the hot summer sun and give you a bird’s eye view of the extensive wildlife Sunriver is blessed with.
The marina has canoe and raft rentals available during the warmer months. Additional companies in the Sunriver community offer inner tube, canoe and raft rentals, and some even offer a drop-off and pick-up service along the river. Please see Fair Weather Fun for more information.
If you like to enjoy the sights and wildlife without having to get wet, you can dine waterside on scrumptious seafood, seasoned steaks, or a hearty homemade breakfast at The Trout House restaurant. With delicious food, homemade desserts and shore side dining with an outdoor patio, The Trout House is a tradition for many families and groups when they come to Sunriver.
Fort Rock Park is located in the central part of the resort area. A full playground, tennis courts, picnic areas, ball fields and a large covered area for large gatherings and barbeques, the Fort Rock Park area is a desirable location of Sunriver for families. Sunset Realty has numerous homes within walking distance of the park.
If you would like more information on reserving the covered barbeque area for an upcoming family reunion or corporate retreat, please see our Large Group Events page for more information.
