Culver

Culver lies on the high-desert plateau just north of Bend, in the heart of Central Oregon’s outdoor playground.

With the Ochoco National Forest on one side and the Deschutes National Forest on the other, Culver offers access to epic hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing. Check out the scenic views above Lake Billy Chinook, take a paddle at the Cove Palisades State Park or cast a fly into the wild Deschutes River.
