CROOKED RIVER ACTIVITIES AND RECREATION
Crooked River Ranch is in the heart of Central Oregon’s four-season playground, which makes Crooked River real estate unbeatable for outdoor adventure. According to Orvis, the Crooked River is the best river in Central Oregon to be introduced to fly-fishing.
While the year-round 18-hole Crooked River Ranch Golf Course and Crooked River Ranch RV Park are main attractions, this is just the beginning of the amenities and community events Crooked River Ranch offers.
Tourist and recreational opportunities range from exploring the Cascade Mountain Range and nearby Steelhead Falls, rock climbing and hiking at Smith Rock, the birthplace of American sport climbing, swimming, fly-fishing, and waterskiing in the many lakes and reservoirs, and enjoying the abundance of winter sports at Mt. Bachelor. The best part? All this is just a short drive from the Ranch.

FISH PARADISE
The beautiful scenery will keep you and your fishing pole coming back for more!
Crooked River Ranch is bordered on two sides by the Deschutes River, and the Crooked River make Crooked River Ranch and the surrounding public lands the perfect place to fish. Enjoy a little catch and release at Folley Waters on the Deschutes River. It is truly a fishing destination. The setting is incredibly beautiful, and you can trail ride to here too. Hike 3/4 of a mile from the parking area. Pack a lunch; you’ll want to stay all day.
To find the parking area, watch the street signs on River Road as you descend to the Steelhead Falls trailhead. Turn at the Folley Waters, drive off ranch property onto BLM land. The road gets rougher but is OK for cars. Watch for a trail sign on the right. It’s a beautiful area to fish. There are many access points along the two rivers; the deep canyons can pose some challenges but the catch of the day and the beautiful scenery will keep you and your fishing pole coming back for more!

PICKLEBALL PARADISE
Badminton, tennis, and table tennis all together!
Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid-1960s as a children’s backyard pastime but has become one of America’s most popular growing sports among all ages.
