About this water

The furthest northern leg of the Lower Deschutes Back Country Byway gives way from asphalt to gravel and becomes a dead-end road beyond State Highway 216.

Turnaround space is limited, allowing for boats to be unloaded only. Vehicles and trailers must park up on the main Deschutes River Access Road.A short but steep access trail allows people to easily descend the hill from the upper parking area.A restroom and interpretive display offer information regarding day use areas and campgrounds on the lower Deschutes River.Campfires and smoking are allowed only from October 16 through May 31, annually, unless posted otherwise.Point of InterestNorth of Buckhollow Boat Ramp, the graveled Lower Deschutes River Back Country Byway traverses another 17 miles where it terminates at Macks Canyon Campground.
