Traveler advice
Getting around
The Sunriver Bike Path is an easy way to get around.
Well posted signs, tunnels, pet waste bags and trashcans make it easy and pleasant for bicyclists and walkers to navigate the Sunriver Bike Path. Please observe all safety signs.
Traveling with kids
Fort Rock Park offers a playground and space to run.
Fort Rock Park in the center of Sunriver offers a popular playground and park to play basketball, pickleball, baseball, frisbee, volleyball and just space to get the wiggles out. Restrooms and some picnic tables available.
Traveling with kids
The Village at Sunriver is kid friendly
The Village offers seasonal kid friendly activities such as ice skating and miniature golf. My kid's love going to the Sunriver Bookstore, Tumbleweed Toys, and Live Laugh Love Art where hours of DIY art is available. And don't miss Goody's Chocolate & Ice Cream for a treat everyone will love!
Don't miss
Benham Falls
You can drive to Benham Falls but biking there is so much more fun! There is a great bike trail from Sunriver approximately 6.5 miles out and back. It is also a great hike.
