My husband and I are planning a trip to Bend in August. We have a 14 month-old and would like to hike somewhere that isn’t too difficult and has some safe swimming holes. Any suggestions?

A great hiking option, relatively flat, is the Deschutes River Trail, which runs right through Bend. The trail system is awesome! People do swim at McKay Park, but it's not really safe or a swimming hole, necessarily. If you want that, I'd head up to Elk Lake. Especially in August, the water is warm and definitely safe - try the South Beach for a shallow hole. There is a lot of hiking up there, but it's more mountainous. Have a wonderful trip! More

Stand Up Paddleboarding

Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is pretty much what it sounds like; you stand on a long, floaty surfboard and propel yourself forward through the water with a paddle. For the fitness-minded it’s a great workout with the balance required of yoga and the arm and core strength of kayaking. At the Coast, it’s an added level of challenge for surfers. And in Bend (home to surfing legend Gerry Lopez and Kialoa paddle company), SUPers take to the flat water on the Deschutes River and Cascade lakes. More
