Ferry Springs Trail Access provides a trailhead for a scenic 1. 3-mile single-track hiking trail that climbs 800 feet to panoramic canyon rim views of the Deschutes River and surrounding landscape.

The trail is particularly popular in spring for wildflower viewing and connects to the wider Deschutes River Trail system, offering access to dispersed backcountry camping along the river.

Day-use parking is available at Deschutes River State Recreation Area, which requires an Oregon State Parks pass ($5 cash on-site).
