Amazing, great quality care and went the extra mile for my pet while I was out of town! You d be foolish to second guess booking Maryna if you re looking for top notch and communicative care.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Deschutes River Woods

Southwest Bend

This Bend neighborhood sits directly north of Deschutes Riverwoods and is home to some furrific parks. Hollygrape Park is a nice wooded park with a playground and an open lawn area. Your canine companion will have plenty to sniff while out and about in this park. Not only are there paved walkways within the park, there is also one that leads to River Canyon Park. This natural area has beautiful views and minimal development. Gravel trails weave throughout rim rock and tall pine trees. There is also access to the Deschutes River Trail. After your walk, find a spot by the river’s edge and enjoy the afternoon with your pup.

Southern Crossing

For a fun a night out with your favorite canine, head over to the Old Mill District. Located in Bend, it is 15 minutes north of Deschutes River Woods. Once the site of two major lumber mills, this area is now Bend’s cultural epicenter with shops, restaurants, galleries and an amphitheater. Your leashed pup will be right in the thick of things as he walks around the riverside trails and around the well-kept grounds. When dinner time rolls around, stop by Anthony’s at the Old Mill District for some mouthwatering seafood. Dine on some Steak and Prawns or Pan Fried Oysters on the pet friendly patio while enjoying views of the Deschutes River.

Wood River Village

Pack up your pooch and head 10 minutes north to Farewell Bend Park. This Bend park is situated on the banks of the Deschutes River and has a lumber mill themed playground that pays tribute to the town’s industrious history. Marsh areas, rocky cliffs, and pine trees make it a beautiful riverfront park perfect for some fun in the sun. Take your pooch for a brisk jaunt around the pathways so she can get some much needed exercise. Follow the boardwalk along the river or just roam around the open grassy fields. To add mileage to your walk, follow the Deschutes River Trail. It continues outside of the park in both directions and gives your pal plenty of room to burn her extra energy.

Larkspur

If your pup is itching to run wild, then it’s time for a trip to the Ponderosa Park Off Leash Dog Area. This three acre area is located inside Ponderosa Park in Bend and is about 15 minutes from Deschutes River Woods. Your pal can ditch her leash and romp around with new four legged playmates. If she’s a petite pooch, she’ll feel right at home in the small dog section. Water is only available seasonally, so to be safe, bring some H20 for your furry friend. If she’d prefer a leashed walk, the main area of Ponderosa Park has a pawsome walking trail that runs through the pines.

Century West

Across the river from Deschutes River Woods, you’ll find the puptastic Alpine Park. Located on the outskirts of Bend, this undeveloped park is 20 minutes away. Your furry BFF will absolutely love cruising through this natural area and discovering all the new smells. Follow the network of trails through sagebrush and other desert plants so he can get his daily workout. Just down the street from this park you can connect to the Haul Trail. This trail runs about three miles and follows old mill railroad routes. If your pal needs a long walk, follow the trail all the way up to Riverbend Park.
