Fall River is a beautiful spring-fed stream located approximately 25 miles south of Bend, Oregon. This pristine, gin-clear tributary flows for about 8 miles in a northeasterly direction through stands of lodgepole pine and high mountain meadow before joining the Deschutes River between Sunriver and La Pine. As a spring creek, Fall River maintains consistent flows and temperatures year-round, making it an excellent choice for anglers when other rivers in the region are experiencing fluctuating conditions. The river is characterized by its cold, clear, and meandering nature throughout most of its length, offering a challenging yet rewarding fishing experience.

Oregon Stream Access Laws

The people of Oregon are the owners of the submerged and submersible land (“beds and banks”) underlying all navigable and tidally influenced waterways. In most cases, this ownership extends to the line of ordinary high water or high tide, but ownership can be mixed, even along the same waterway. The Department of State Lands is responsible for management of publicly owned submerged and submersible land.
