White River Falls State Park, Maupin, OR - Adventure Guru
This waterfall is often overlooked since it's 2 hours from Bend and Maupin is known for white water rafting trips. The rolling green hills and prominent buttes are stunning. It doesn't feel like a waterfall this massive could be found after hours of driving through wide-open spaces, but they are here and boy do they impress.
You can walk down a dirt path to an old hydro-plant. Steampunk fans will lose their minds.
I didn't see any paid parking signs, however, this is a state park, so I'd display your state park pass if you have one.

Hiking the Deschutes River Trail 1
This is video from my hike of the Deschutes River Trail into Bend, Oregon.
Just a quick 22+ mile hike to try and get my legs back in shape before I head out of Oregon. The plan is to stealth camp somewhere on the outskirts of Bend and then hike in for breakfast at Ihop.
A real outdoor adventure.
Closer to where I was staying, and a long walk from the beginning of the Deschutes River Trail, there was recently a fire in the Deschutes National Forest that burned 360 acres. Crews were still out during this hike clearing debris and watering down roads.

Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway
A Wild and Scenic river, lush cranberry bogs, towering basalt sea stacks and vast ocean views await riders on the Wild Rivers Coast Scenic Bikeway. The 61-mile ride is anchored in the quaint fishing hamlet of Port Orford, the oldest town on the Oregon coast. Here you can count on a great cup of coffee, and you’ll find quiet, locally owned hotels and eclectic art galleries.
White River Falls
All the way out in Eastern, OR (Maupin, OR) is this beautiful hidden falls/river. Incredibly beautiful, and huge, this waterfall was great for exploration and cooling down from that 95 degree sunny days! We explored the old hydroplant, and then look a nice dip in the falls and pool next to it! Wish I had brought an inner tube to lounge in, but the rocks and pebbly-sand worked too :)

The Old West Scenic Bikeway
There's a little-known secret about cycling in Oregon: Some of the best riding in the state isn't in Portland or even along the Pacific Coast. You have to cross the Cascade Mountains and head into the open country of Eastern Oregon, where cows in the road constitute a traffic jam, and where the impressive scenery shifts between ponderosa pines and basalt rock.
The Old West Scenic Bikeway is a beautiful, challenging, 175-mile loop through rural Eastern Oregon. It passes through 10 small communities and offers, in Matt's words, big-sigh riding; every time you round a corner, you take a big sigh and recognize how lucky you are.
