Deschutes County, Oregon
Deschutes County sits pretty in central Oregon. This place is like nature’s playground on steroids. Bend, the county seat, is the cool kid of Oregon cities. It’s got more breweries than you can shake a hiking stick at.
The Cascade Mountains are right there, tempting you with their snowy peaks. The Deschutes River? It’s not just a waterway, it’s a way of life. Kayakers, rafters, and fly fishers can’t get enough of it. And let’s not forget Smith Rock, the birthplace of American sport climbing.
It’s like someone took the best bits of the West and crammed them into one county. Summers are for outdoor adventures, winters for hitting the slopes at Mt. Bachelor. It’s a four-season playground that’ll make you wonder why you ever lived anywhere else.

Deschutes County sits high and dry in the central Oregon plateau. But it’s not flat. It has volcanic buttes, lava flows, and high ridges across the landscape. The Deschutes River cuts a winding path through the middle, threading the high desert together.

This county has an odd shape. I think it looks a bit like a boot with a really flat sole. You’ll notice that it narrows at the north, widening southward. It doesn’t touch any other state, just neighboring Oregon counties.
