Macks Canyon Recreation Area offers a boat ramp and campground situated on the Deschutes River, serving as a popular put-in and take-out point for boating, rafting, and fishing.

The site features 18 individual campsites and group sites with vault toilets and garbage service (no water or hookups), available year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with a $8-12 per night fee.

Access is via a 17-mile maintained gravel road from Maupin, and a boater pass is required to launch on the river.
