Tetherow, Crosswater or Aspen Lakes for golfing. Phil’s trail for mountain biking. The Cascade Lakes Highway for road biking or sight-seeing. Smith Rock State Park for rock climbing. South Sister for hiking or mountain climbing. The Metolious, Deschutes or Fall River for fly fishing. The Les Schwab Ampitheater for big-time concerts. The list goes on and on.

Cycle Pub of Bend
You can pedal a bicycle made for 16 people on the Bend Ale Trail! The Cycle Pub of Bend incorporates two favorite Bend pasttimes - bikes and beer! Appearing much like a trolley or San Francisco cable car, The Cycle Pub adds a new twist - riders actually provide the horsepower by pedaling this 16 passenger "bike", while enjoying the various sights and attractions of Bend along the way. They've recently added two more bar/bike hybrids to their fleet which require a few less feet to pedal.
