FLOAT THE RIVER
Perhaps today is perfect for being on the water. Take a long lunch because Sunriver Resort offers a 6-mile float (2-3 hours depending on the vessel) out of the Marina. Choose your vessel of choice, whether it be a canoe, kayak or stand-up paddleboard and float down the Deschutes River among islands of tall grasses, past the horses, and you might even see a bald eagle if you’re lucky! And yes, your furry friend is welcome too! Find everything you need at the Marina Shop – sunscreen, water bags, swimsuits, etc. The temperature can be cool on the water, so layer-up moving into the fall months.
For Dinner, we recommend Suniver Brewing Company (reservations needed), which offers pub fare with an artisan flare and amazing beer for all palettes. They also offer curbside pickup if you’d like to head back to your room or home.

SNEAK IN SOME GOLF AT MEADOWS
Let’s sneak in a little golf today over at Meadows. Depending on your schedule, you can go hit a bucket of balls, play around on the 9-hole putting green, or play the course. The course is super accessible, right behind The Lodge, and your tee times can be scheduled ahead of time, click here, or head into the Merchant Trader on foot, where our golf pros can help you find time on the green.
Meadows is acclaimed architect John Fought's latest creation. The course features tremendous variety within its 18 holes, seven of which border the meandering Sun River. Fought's design pays tribute to the great American golf courses from the 1920's and 30's with its aesthetic grace, while its dramatic use of directional and fore-bunkers serve up ample challenges for golfers of all skill levels.
The Meadows golf course has played host to numerous USGA and NCAA golf championships, including the NCAA Men's Division I championship tournament. In addition to 18 exciting holes, Meadows is also home to the popular 9-hole putting course. Named one of the Top 10 Destinations for Family Golf by Golf Digest, January 2016. Ranked #15 in Golf Advisor's Golfer's Choice Award: Best of Oregon Golf Courses 2019.
Enjoy lunch and a beer with amazing views of Mt. Bachelor at The Backyard (just behind The Lodge). The perfect spot to kick back, relax, and check your phone for emails!
BIKE TO BENHAM FALLS
Get a quick hike or bike in at Benham Falls, located on the outskirts of Sunriver and accessible by trail from the Resort. This easy trail will take you 1.5 miles through Ponderosa Pines and along the heavy whitewater of the Deschutes River. After an eruption of nearby Lava Butte around 7,000 years ago, the river dammed up, eventually giving way, creating the massive rush of water we call Benham Falls.
Tonight, we recommend you head to Carson’s American Kitchen for dinner. Some of our favorites: Coho Salmon with roasted corn succotash; pork chop with aged white cheddar soufflé; seafood pasta, and of course, the filet. Please make a reservation ahead of time by calling (541) 593-3740. Carson’s is also available for pick-up.
CRUISE THE CASCADE LAKES HIGHWAY
Get out and roam. The Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway begins right here in Sunriver, at Century Drive! This road is open seasonally, and closes in October, so get up there while you still can! With sweeping views of Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top and the Three Sisters, you will enter Dutchman Flat and the first string of Cascade Lakes, beginning with Todd Lake. Stop by Elk Lake Resort for lunch! They have a quaint cabin-like restaurant with an outdoor deck overlooking the water.
