Home of some amazing, easily accessible singletrack, the Deschutes National Forest is a popular mountainbike destination.
The major trail cluster is west of Bend, with some less famous but worthy rides in the surrounding ranger districts.
Sisters and LaPine are great mountain biking destinations, in addtion to a wide variety of lakeside camping opportunities.
On the dry side of the Cascade range, Deschutes offers prime Cascade foothills riding, with moderate terrain and weather.
See the Deschutes NF Site for closures.
As always, it is best to call the local Ranger District for trail conditions and other restrictions prior to visiting, as the DNF website may not contain trip-specific details.
