Welcome to Sunriver

hat makes Sunriver such a magical place to visit and live? The answers to this question are as varied as the many things to do, see and explore here in Sunriver. The Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce has tried to capture the special Sunriver experience in this magazine. We know, however, that you can only truly get to know our community by coming here. Take the weather, for instance. Sunriver enjoys Central Oregon’s high desert climate with about 300 days a year of sunshine. But what makes Sunriver so comfortable are the warm summer days followed by the cool evenings and nights — naturally air conditioning your home by just opening your windows!

2019-20 | SUNRIVER MAGAZINE

The winter months are special as well as the snow provides a beautiful white blanket over the trees and ground, providing for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing from your front door. That same dry, eastern Oregon mountain snowfall followed soon by sunshine makes for a “Blue Bird” day of skiing at nearby Mt. Bachelor. As you’ll discover in this magazine, the original resort planners knew early on that Sunriver’s climate and natural setting provided the ideal opportunity to create one of the first developments to integrate environmental engineering and design into a resort community. They recognized that nature and wildlife in Sunriver are just as important as everyday comforts.

Visitors will find, for instance, that despite the more than 4,000 homes located here, it’s very dark in Sunriver at night. That’s by design, so that from your deck or balcony, or through a telescope at the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, the stars fill the night sky. During the day, Sunriver is alive with outdoor activities, recreation and sports that again go hand-in-hand with our natural setting. Families build memories for a lifetime on bike rides along the more than 34 miles of paved biking and walking paths that wind through trees and meadows throughout the Sunriver community. The Deschutes River, which gracefully flows along Sunriver’s western border, provides floating, fishing and wildlife

Welcome

viewing opportunities. Bring your camera! Just a short drive away are dozens of Alpine lakes, Lava Lands Visitor Center, the Newberry National Volcanic Monument and miles of trails for hiking and biking. Sunriver also boasts fun-filled humanmade recreational facilities that blend naturally into the Central Oregon high desert. For families, the Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC), located in the center of Sunriver, features indoor and outdoor aquatics, including a variety of pools and water slides. Golfers will be challenged by the world-class courses in Sunriver and surrounding area. Tennis courts are located throughout Sunriver, and the growing sport of pickleball has

dedicated courts at Fort Rock Park. All of this activity naturally leads to a healthy appetite, so Sunriver has everything you’re looking for with a wide selection of dining options. Choose from several restaurants in The Village at Sunriver, which also provides visitors with a host of shopping opportunities, or explore eating options at the Sunriver Resort, Sunriver Business Park and Spring River Plaza. A choice of accommodations in Sunriver is just as wide. Many families choose from hundreds of fully furnished vacation homes for rent, many of which include a garage full of bikes and a hot tub on the deck. Renting multiple homes on the same street for family reunions and other gatherings is also common.

Many condominium, townhome and guestroom rental options are also available from the Sunriver Resort and property management companies. For those considering Sunriver as a permanent home or business location, we recommend doing what many residents have done first — enjoy Sunriver as a visitor or vacation home owner. It won’t be long before you’ve made a decision about moving here. The Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce can make your vacation or move here that magical experience that so many have had. Please drop by our office located in the Sunriver Business Park at 56825 Venture Lane, Suite 110 or call us 541-593-8149. sunriverchamber.com 2019-20 | SunriverChamber.com

Sunriver’s Traffic Circles

You’ll notice several traffic circles on this street map. Though they take a bit of getting used to, they help the flow of traffic. Some traffic circle etiquette: Yield to drivers in the circle, and use your turn signal only when you’re about to exit.

Where is Circle 8?

In 1978, 2,185 undeveloped acres on Sunriver’s north end were sold to the US Forest Service. This is where Circle 8 would have been located.

Sunriver History

Early aerial photo of the Lodge.

by Tor Hanson

elebrating the half century mark in 2018, the idyllic community of Sunriver is an integral part of Central Oregon’s vibrant economy and home to more than a thousand permanent residents. But it was not always so. It took the courage and determination of a small group of entrepreneurs to turn Sunriver into what it is today. Sunriver is perfectly located at the crossroads of Central Oregon. Trade routes have intersected the area from the time of the first people established presence in Central Oregon and continued for thousands of years. With cartographers in tow, the first white explorers filtered through the area in the early- through mid-1800s. After the U.S. Congress established the Homestead Act in 1862, pioneer families like the Vandeverts, the Shonequests and others started farming the area that would eventually become Sunriver. As the Second World War played out, military planners saw the Central Oregon area as a good stand-in for the European Theater of War. The large meadow, the quick-flowing river, and the expansive forest surrounding the area became training grounds for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1943 through 1944. Camp Abbot saw more than 90,000 citizen soldiers prepare for war in Europe. Shortly after the war ended, Prineville-based Hudspeth Land and Livestock company purchased the surplus Army property to use for cattle ranching. The development of Sunriver can be attributed to California businessman Lee Evans, Portland real estate attorney Donald McCallum, and the founder of Omark Industries, John Gray. California businessman Lee Evans’s involvement in Sunriver came by the way of marrying into the Hudspeth family. After

the company fell into financial straits, Evans received a power of attorney to sell the Sunriver land. According to an interview in The Bulletin in September 1988, Evans said, “the crown jewel of the Hudspeth holdings was what is now Sunriver.” Hudspeth’s evaluation of the property highlighted the sites recreational potential. “Recreational opportunities include hunting, fishing and snow sports. […] Fishing is excellent on the famous Deschutes River. Snow sports are enjoyed at the multimillion-dollar Bachelor Butte Ski Bowl. The highest use of this area would seem to be a resort type subdivision.” After John Hudspeth defaulted on a loan, which was secured by the former Camp Abbot site, Evans purchased the property in 1964. Evans hired Guillermo Lehmann, a Berkeley, California, planner to develop plans for a resort community to be called Castellaras. The plans called for “dense housing development, a network of waterways, and a golf course” — Central Oregon’s version of Venice. An avid outdoorsman, Portland real estate lawyer Don McCallum was familiar with the former Camp Abbot site, having hunted and fished in the area for many years. One of the original investors, and eventually co-owner of Sunriver Properties, he and Evans approached John Gray in 1964. Gray grew up in Monroe, Oregon. After serving in the U.S. Army 82nd Airborne Division during World War II, he became assistant general manager for Oregon Saw Chain Manufacturing Company in 1948. Gray had recently developed Salishan on the Oregon coast. Nearly ten times larger than Salishan, Gray saw the potential for a large-scale development. The developers had grand plans for Sunriver, hoping the

The preliminary plans included a lodge, an 18-hole golf course, shops and a small boat basin. Connecting the community would be a network of pathways for walking, biking and electric carts. When development of Sunriver was announced to the public in late 1965, the officials of Sunriver Properties envisioned a community of 12,000 to 15,000 people. Serendipity would change the scope of the project to what Sunriver is today. Gray’s children were attending summer classes arranged through Oregon Museum of Science and Industries. The teacher, naturalist Jim Anderson and Gray hit it off. Sensing an opportunity to change the trajectory of the development, Anderson rooted for an eco-friendly approach. Anderson was hired as Sunriver’s first naturalist. Gray also hired award-winning landscape architect Robert Royston. Encouraged to take a different approach by Royston and Anderson, the team submitted new master plans for the community in 1965. Development of Sunriver was driven in part by a national phenomenon, the so-called “second home boom,” which called for an alternative to both big city and rural living. In an interview with The Bulletin in March 1966, general manager Allen Grant said, “We will appeal to active retired people, those from the Willamette Valley who want homes in their area to use part of the year, and to out-of-state people who simply want to get away from the smog and crowds.” Development of the community started in earnest in 1968. Fourteen months later, Sunriver Lodge opened to the public in late September 1969. With a $1.5 million price tag, the lodge featured a coffee shop, dining area, conference center, banquet rooms and 77 privately owned condominiums. Included in the project was the restoration of the former Camp Abbot Officers’

Mess, today called the “Great Hall.” In tandem with the construction of the lodge, the developers built the first clusters of cabins and houses in Sunriver. Meadow Village was the first development quickly followed by the Pole Houses and Cluster Cabins. Individuals also began snapping up lots in the resort community. The first homesite was sold on June 28, 1968. By the end of the year there were 113 condos and three homes in Sunriver. The Sunriver project was initially seen as a threat to Bend businesses, who saw the resort community as a potential competitor for local business. To calm frazzled nerves, Gray invited Bend Chamber of Commerce members to a forum at Sunriver in April 1969. The gathering served its purpose. The chamber decided the development held promise for both Sunriver and Bend. In an editorial in The Bulletin the day after the presentation, the newspaper said, “Central Oregon has an important stake in the success of Sunriver. The friendly hand extended by John Gray should assure a continued spirit of mutual respect and cooperation.” True to its name, the community is foremost about nature and recreation. The expanse that is the Great Meadow — where Native Americans once camped, and thousands of years later, soldiers from Camp Abbot trained — now features different kinds of activities. Residents and guests take advantage of the area’s recreational opportunities such as rafting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, and snowboarding. Golf enthusiasts can choose from four courses in the area. Add to that a care for nature that started with Gray, Anderson, and Royston and you truly get a feel for what Sunriver is all about. Or in the words of John Gray, “to create a commercial enterprise that blends into the environment without insult.” Tor Hanson is the author of two “Images of America” books — Sunriver and Camp Abbot.

The SHARC That Loves Tourists by Sunriver Owners Association

uring close to two million vacationers, residents and guests through its doors since opening in 2012, visitors to the Sunriver Homeowners Aquatic & Recreation Center (SHARC) report being rejuvenated by the brilliant range of activities and amenities the $18 million facility offers to all ages and interests. The vast majority of SHARC visitors come in the warmer summer months to frolic in the oversize outdoor pool, drift in the lazy river, plunge down tube and body slides, dance in the water fountains, sunbathe or watch toddlers safely play in a separate wading pool and sand play area. Thousands of people slide down the winter tubing hill (on select dates between November and February), scramble around the playground, play hoops on the full-size basketball court, play disc golf, test their skills at bocce ball or picnic in the park. Even when the weather turns cold, SHARC’s indoor, multi-

use pool continues to attract owners and visitors. Heated to a relatively toasty 84-85 degrees, the pool’s zero entry features bubbling fountains, spinning water flower and dumping bucket to entertain youngsters and the young at heart. School-age children make themselves dizzy floating around in circles in the vortex water feature. Three adjacent lap lanes provide space for workouts, swim lessons, aquatic fitness classes and water volleyball. Aside from aquatics, SHARC’s 5,000 square foot Benham Hall (which can also be split into two smaller rooms) hosts business meetings, weddings, banquets, seminars, events and fundraisers. Access to SHARC is free to members of Sunriver Owners Association with a valid Member Preference ID, those with SROA Recreation Guest Passes and guests of vacation rental properties enrolled in SROA’s Recreation Plus Program. The general public is welcome via a daily gate fee. sunriversharc.com • 541-585-5000

Angler’s Dream

Sunriver is home to several experienced fly fishing and guide shops that have the localized knowledge to provide you with an unforgettable fishing experience. The Hook Fly Shop/Cascade Guides & Outfitters, located in The Village and the Sunriver Fly Shop, located in the Sunriver Business Park, have been assisting fly fishers for over 30 years. In addition to offering the best hand-tied flies for the area, they both offer fly fishing equipment, complete guide services and of course, the real answer on where and how to catch the fish. Garrison’s Guide Service, who features family friendly pontoon boats, offers guide services for both spin fishing and fly fishing.

entral Oregon is home to over 100 lakes and 450 miles of pristine rivers and streams that are all within an hour’s drive of Sunriver. The waters in Central Oregon hold Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Brook Trout, Lake Trout, Bull Trout, Cutthroat Trout, native Redband Trout, Kokanee, Atlantic Salmon, Large and Smallmouth Bass, and for many months out of the year in the lower Deschutes River both Salmon and Steelhead make their return trip from the Pacific Ocean. Central Oregon’s crystal clear water and the abundance of natural food and insects produce beautiful and healthy fish. And the fish get big here. Trout over ten pounds are common. The state record Brown Trout is 28.5 pounds (caught at Paulina Lake, 20 minutes from Sunriver), the state record Lake Trout is 40.8 pounds (caught at Odell Lake, 45 minutes from Sunriver) and the state record Bull Trout is 23.2 pounds (caught at Lake Billy Chinook, 60 minutes from Sunriver).

A major mission of the club is to provide opportunities for school children to acquire basic fishing skills and learn about fish habitat, water safety and the principles of stewardship. From co-sponsoring the Kokanee Karnival to hosting hundreds of kids at Free Fishing Day, club members are committed to education. Other club missions are fulfilled by members who volunteer for a number of activities such as restoring river banks, improving fish habitats, removing Tui Chub from Oregon lakes, teaching young and beginning anglers and working with school groups. The Sunriver Anglers Club holds monthly meetings, open to the public, on subjects such as fly patterns, fly selection, winter steelhead fishing, fishing tactics and habitat restoration projects. The club hosts a variety of outings and fishing trips to nearby lakes and streams, giving members an opportunity to learn how and where to fish in our bountiful area.

Nature’s Aquatic Adventures Await

iver and lake adventures — all brought to you by Mother Nature — are in abundance in and around Sunriver.

A great place to start is the Sunriver Resort’s commercial Marina for a canoe, kayak, paddle board or raft float on the Deschutes River. Plan on a couple hours for the six mile trip, ending at a takeout just above the Benham Falls Day Use Area. Here a shuttle will conveniently bring you back to the Marina. The general public and guests of the Resort must rent boats from the Marina to utilize this facility. The Sunriver Owners Association owns a private launch and parking area next to the Marina. Access to this facility is restricted to Sunriver owners and their guests. Only those with updated Member Preference and Recreation Plus access cards issued by the Owners Association will be able to utilize this facility. Floats are available on the other parts of the Deschutes River with nearby

public launching sites that include La Pine State Park, Big River and Besson Day Use Area. Please note: There are no public access points within Sunriver proper. You can rent river- and lake-floating equipment from Sunriver Sports, 4 Seasons Recreational Outfitters, Sunriver Toy House Rentals and Tumalo Creek Canoe and Kayak. These stores can also help you with information about where to put-in and take-out, float times and shuttle information. For a thrilling whitewater adventure contact Sun Country Raft Tours. They offer trips on the Upper Deschutes, McKenzie River, North Umpqua or Lower Deschutes River. The nearby Cascade Mountain lakes, including Elk Lake, Devils Lake and Sparks Lake, offer a wonderful opportunity to enjoy views of Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top and South Sisters. Access to these lakes and others is along the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway, a 66-mile historic highway. Highway 40 from Sunriver takes you to the Byway either directly or by turning off at Highway 45.

Take a waterfall tour as you hike north, passing Benham, Dillon and Lava Island falls along the way.

Stunning Views Await on the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway

ne of the most beautiful drives in the entire Northwest — the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway — is conveniently located to Sunriver. True to its name, the Byway makes a loop around Mt. Bachelor and passes several mountain lakes along the way, each with its own breathtaking view of the Cascade Mountains. The peaks of Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top and the Three Sisters will seem close enough to touch as you take a relaxing stroll around the perimeter of Todd Lake or any of the other crystal-clear, pristine alpine lakes that dot

the unforgettable landscape. Many of these lakes are accessible by car only in the summer months, but there’s still fun to be had in the winter at several Sno-Parks along the way, as well as Mt. Bachelor ski resort. Be sure to stop by the Deschutes National Forest’s Welcome Station located at the junction of Century Drive and Conklin Road (Road #41). Opened in 2016, the friendly staff at the Welcome Station can offer a wealth of information for your visit, including maps, and you can purchase recreation passes.

Directions from Sunriver To access the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, take Forest Service Road #40 (South Century Drive, then Spring River Road) headed west, then after several miles turn right onto Road #46 headed north. Take in all the beautiful scenery as you pass access points to Lava Lake, Hosmer Lake, Elk Lake, Sparks Lake, Devils Lake and Todd Lake, finally arriving at Mt.

Bachelor. Just past Mt. Bachelor you can head back to Sunriver on Road #45, or continue to follow Road #46 to Bend. In the winter, the Byway is closed at the intersection of Road #40 and Road #45. But you can still access Mt. Bachelor via Road #45 and the Sno-Parks on the section of Road #46 from Mt. Bachelor to Bend.

Newberry National Volcanic Monument Preserves Area’s Dramatic Eruptive History

unriver is uniquely situated near the spectacular Newberry National Volcanic Monument, consisting of more than 50,000 acres of beautiful lakes, stunning lava flows and outof-this-world geologic features. A great place to start your exploration of the Monument is at Lava Lands Visitor Center, just north on Highway 97, or ride your bike there from Sunriver on the paved Sun-Lava Trail. At the Visitor Center you can view a 3D map of the entire Monument and learn about its eruptive history, which began 400,000 years ago. Over the centuries the volcanic activity has created massive lava flows covering 1,200 square miles, dozens of lava tubes and more than 400 cinder cones. The Visitor Center also offers daily educational films, easy hikes on the Trail of Molten Lands and the Trail of Whispering Pines, picnics under the pines, ranger interpretive talks, and a hike, drive or bus to the top of Lava Butte — the site of an active fire lookout tower. Just a short drive from the Visitor Center is the Lava River Cave. An ancient lava tunnel about a mile long and 50 feet wide in some places, the cave has a constant temperature of 42 degrees and is open seasonally. Ask at the Visitor Center about the schedule. You can take a self-guided tour of the Lava River Cave and lantern rentals are available. (At least two light sources are recommended) It takes about an hour and a half to tour the entire cave. Initial access descends 55 stairs to a combination of flat boardwalk, uneven surfaces and stairways. Dress warmly, even in the summer! Make the next stop on your National Volcanic Monument tour the Newberry Caldera, located just southeast of Sunriver. Again follow Highway 97, this time south to the turnoff on County Road 21 just before La Pine. Within the Newberry Caldera you’ll find the picturesque Paulina Lake and East Lake. This area offers a wealth of recreational opportunities, including fishing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. One of the most popular walks in Newberry Caldera is in the Big Obsidian Flow. A trail through the Flow covers about seven-tenths of a mile in a loop. While it’s an easy trail, you still must take care not to wander off. Obsidian, while beautiful, is a volcanic glass with sharp edges. Best to wear closed shoes and dogs are not allowed for safety reasons. The entire trail takes about an hour to walk, and includes interpretive signs. Another must-see spot is Paulina Peak (elevation 7,985 feet), where you can view the Cascades, Newberry Caldera, and see across the Central Oregon High Desert. You can either hike to Paulina Peak or drive up to the top in the spring and fall. The hike from the Paulina Peak Trailhead is two miles each way, out and back. Cars are not allowed to drive all the way up to the Paulina Peak summit in summer. Your visit to the Newberry National Volcanic Monument would not be complete without hiking the Lava Cast Forest. To get there, follow the main entrance road to Sunriver east onto unpaved Forest Service Road 9720 for almost ten miles to a parking area. The Lava Cast Forest got its name from the trees that became encased in stone by a 6,000 year old lava flow. What remained were casts of the trees, creating large holes that go several feet below the surface. Visitors can view these tree molds within the lava flow on a paved, onemile interpretive trail. And enjoy the beautiful native flowers breathing new life into the ancient lave flow! fs.usda.gov

Pickleball’s Popularity Grows by Leaps & Bounds

he name “pickleball” may seem funny, but people in Sunriver are serious about their enthusiasm for this rapidly growing sport. Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong into an exhilarating game that’s easy to learn, while still making for a fast-paced, competitive test of skill. A fun social sport, pickleball is commonly played in doubles format with singles play also popular. And it’s great exercise for the whole family. No wonder then that the popularity of pickleball has grown by leaps and bounds since 2012, when it was first played in an organized fashion in Sunriver. Now, six outdoor pickleball courts are available by reservation from Sunriver Owners Association at Fort Rock Park. For information about court reservations, clinics and lessons, go to sunrivertennis.com and click on the Pickleball page. Also, an active Pickleball Club in Sunriver plays three times a week. The Club, which has grown to 140 members, encourages participation by players from all skill levels. While the play is competitive, the focus is on having fun. Along with the regular playing schedule, the Club hosts a tournament for members in August and a Club BBQ at the end of the season. Sage Springs Tennis & Spa in Sunriver offers pickleball year-round

on six indoor courts that are converted over from tennis courts. Pickleball mixers are offered each week open to members and non-members. Experienced professionals provide lessons to all levels of players with an emphasis on introducing the game to new players, including those visiting Sunriver who want to try pickleball for the first time. Pickleball is now played around the world, and no doubt will continue to gain popularity in Sunriver. It’s all pretty amazing considering the sport was invented more than 50 years ago when three dads from Bainbridge Island, Washington wanted to create an activity to keep their kids busy during summer vacation. And its funny name? One legend has it that the sport was named after a family dog — Pickles — who would chase after the plastic ball. The millions of humans who now play the game can relate.

In 2018, Sunriver once again made the grade in Tennis Resorts Online Top 75 resorts in the world. Sunriver has truly become Central Oregon’s “Tennis Town” with 24 outdoor courts. Most of the activity can be found at the North Courts next to Woodlands Golf Course and Tennis Hill, adjacent to Fort Rock Park. Smaller court complexes nestled within the pines dot the community, creating a private court experience. Neighborhood courts, available first to Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) members, can be found at Meadow Village, Ranch Cabins, Marketplace and Winners Circle. Condominium courts, available to condo owners and guests, are located at Quelah Condos, Stoneridge Condos, The Pines, Alberello Condos and North Course Estates. The SROA continues to rebuild many of its existing courts

when needed, which proves to be quite a draw for state and national tennis tournaments. SROA’s Sunriver Tennis programs are coordinated by a certified tennis pro and seasoned staff. In 2018, Sunriver Tennis teamed up with Sunriver Resort to provide year-round tennis offerings — thanks to the Resort’s indoor courts. Reservations and gate card are required for the use of SROA-owned tennis courts. You can rent a ball hopper and of other equipment at Tennis Hill. Tennis Sunriver also offers a variety of clinics and camps between June and September. For information call 541-593-5707 or go to sunrivertennis.com.

Family Fun on the Paved Pathways of Sunriver

ne of the most memorable experiences for families visiting Sunriver are the group bike rides and walks on the more than 34 miles of paved pathways that wind through the entire community and up to Lava Lands Visitor Center and Behnam Falls or the Deschutes River. Many rental homes come equipped with bikes, but if they aren’t included and you didn’t bring your own, there are local bike rental shops where you can rent every conceivable kind of bicycle and accessory including toddler trailers, tandem and recumbent bikes. The Sunriver pathways curve around golf courses, under roads, through pine forest, along the Deschutes River and through the Great Meadow. Pathway maps, including pathway rules, are available at the local bike shops and from kiosks along the pathways and roads, and are clearly marked on Sunriver maps. You can leave the car at home in Sunriver!

If you think you are lost, just travel a little farther, and you’ll soon come to a kiosk or intersection where signs will point the way. On your ride or walk, learn all about Sunriver from the 20 interpretive trail signs along the pathways (see adjoining article). In addition to the paths through Sunriver, the 5.5-mile SunLava multi-use paved pathway connects to the Lava Lands Visitor Center starting at a well-marked trailhead near Circle 7. The pathway is ten-feet wide with nice views, gradual curves and slopes and is a joy to navigate. Riding a bike or walking through the majestic ponderosa pines creates a sense of freedom from not having to drive to reach special places. The Sun-Lava pathway features mileage markers and intersection signage to help users navigate to their intended destination. It would be difficult to get lost on this pathway as it is the only paved surface for miles around. Sun-Lava will also lead you to the Benham Falls East Day Use Area on the bank of the Deschutes River. From there, pedestrians and cyclists can cross the river on a wooden bridge and proceed downstream about a quarter mile on a wide dirt trail to the spectacular Benham Falls. Just about all uses — hiking, biking, skating, skateboards and wheelchairs — are permitted on the Sun-Lava pathway. The pathway is not plowed in winter, providing a delightful and wellmarked cross-country ski trail. Please observe signage in Sunriver where different rules (no roller-skates or skateboards in Sunriver due to higher volumes of traffic) apply. Also, for your safety, bicycles must be walked through pathway tunnels, unless noted otherwise.

Sunriver ~ Your Gateway to World-Renowned Mountain Biking

unriver lies at the epicenter of the Central Oregon mountain biking mecca. Fun and fast single track rides link directly to Sunriver, while miles of world-renowned mountain bike trails are just a short drive away. At Village Bike & Ski, Sunriver Sports, and 4 Seasons Sports — located in The Village — visitors can learn about the myriad riding opportunities in the area from the knowledgeable staff and choose from a wide variety of mountain bikes

for rent. (Including fat-tire bikes — see adjoining article). Sunriver Resort’s Bike Barn or Sunriver Virtual Reality located in the Business Park also offer bike rentals. Guide books on local mountain bike trails are available at Sunriver Books & Music, or go to the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA) website at cotamtb.org and bendtrails.org for trail maps and conditions. A favorite ride for locals right out of Sunriver is the Deschutes River Trail connecting to the Black Rock Trail, taking riders all the way to the Lava Lands Visitor Center on single track, except for the short connector ride between the two trails. The Deschutes River Trail starts on the north end of Sunriver next to the trailhead for the paved Sun Lava trail. Several miles of easy single track are available to mountain bike riders at La Pine State Park, just south of Sunriver off of Highway 97. For more challenging rides, explore the renowned Phil’s Trails starting at the trailhead on Skyliner Road northwest of

Bend. Or check out the Wanoga complex, the newest riding area in the Bend/Sunriver area, featuring modern design with great flow and a playful feel. The Tyler’s Traverse trailhead off of Road 41 provides the closest place to access these trails. Tons of fun loops start at Swampy Lakes Sno-Park. The crown jewel here is the Flagline Loop. This is a long and at times strenuous ride, with scenery you’ll never forget. Another starting point is the Edison Butte Sno-Park. Here you can do a 17-mile oneway ride to Sunriver with great views, low traffic and incredible single track. Expect some grinding climbs, but also hundreds of fast swooping corners. The Sunriver area bike shops can provide everything you need, including equipment, helmets, supplies, maps, and information about special conditions that might exist. Get the most out of these amazing rides by being knowledgeable and fully prepared.

Conquer the Snow on a Fat-tire Bike

at-tire bikes, also called Fatbikes, offer a whole new dimension (literally) to the mountain bike scene here in Sunriver. With tires up to five inches wide, fat-tire bikes can conquer just about any terrain, especially snow. That makes the trails in and around Sunriver, and the nearby mountains, accessible year-round. Upon first observation, fat-tire bikes may appear really heavy. But the frames and rims are actually designed to make the bikes surprisingly light and easy to handle. As for navigating the snow, the tire pressure is reduced to less than five pounds, providing amazing traction and stability. So even when covered with snow, the many miles of paved pathways in Sunriver are rideable, although there are limits when the white stuff piles up too high. A special trail network accessed from the Wanoga Sno-Park is also now being groomed for fat-tire bikes by volunteers from the Central Oregon Trail Alliance. As the sport becomes more popular, watch for even more fat-tire bike trails easily accessible from Sunriver.

Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort

t. Bachelor, the crown jewel of Central Oregon’s winter sports mecca, is the sixth largest ski resort in North America. Open for skiing and snowboarding from November through May, the 9,065 foot volcano is the tallest resort peak in all of Oregon and Washington and offers 4,318 acres of skiable terrain. Known for quality snow, diverse terrain and 360 degrees of skiing from the top of the Summit, Mt. Bachelor has a taste of everything. Whether you prefer powder stashes in the trees, steep heart-pumping descents or cruising corduroy, there is something well suited for skiers and riders of all abilities. Eleven chairlifts, including eight high speed quads serve a varied mix of over 100 runs with about 15 percent of the terrain rated as easier, 35 percent more difficult, 30 percent most difficult and 20 percent extremely difficult. New in 2016, the Cloudchaser lift opened 635 additional acres of intermediate and advanced terrain. Not only is Mt. Bachelor a great place for expert skiers and riders to feel the thrill, it is also a fantastic place to learn a snow sport or take the family for an exciting day out. The Sunrise area is a great place to get started with beginner lifts that offer an easy ride up and gentle slope down with a family friendly atmosphere. The Mountain Gateway building in West Village is the one stop shop for everything you need to start your day on the mountain, including tickets, passes and rental equipment. Gravity sports, one of the premiere ski and snowboard shops in Central Oregon, has a large assortment of skis, snowboards, boots, apparel and accessories. Walk right across the way from Gateway to West Village Lodge for a cold beer with a view in Clearing Rock Bar or an array of excellent lunch or breakfast options. If you’d like to try a mountain adventure of a different sort, Mt. Bachelor’s Snowblast Tubing Park is popular with groups and families while the Nordic Center offers the longest groomed Nordic ski season in North America. Cross-country skiers can

explore more than a dozen groomed trails covering over 30 miles. In the Sunrise base area, take a scenic ride behind an Iditarod sled dog team with the Oregon Trail of Dreams. Stay snug and warm in the sled while the team and a professional musher take you on an exciting adventure through the Deschutes National Forest. The standard trip lasts about an hour, including orientation and an option to help take care of the dogs after the ride. Conveniently located just 22 miles west of Bend, Mt. Bachelor is surrounded by the tall hemlocks and pines of the Deschutes National Forest and breathtaking views of the Three Sisters and other Cascade peaks. With endless options for family and friends, you are sure to enjoy a true mountain experience at Mt. Bachelor. mtbachelor.com • 800-829-2442

Give fly fishing a go or take a guided fishing trip with Cascade Guides and Outfitters. If you’re feeling brave, try one of Sun Country Tours’ whitewater rafting trips, or rent water sports equipment from Good 2 Go and create your own river adventure. If you’d rather have an adventure on land, rent some bikes from Sunriver Sports or Village Bike and Ski and travel the miles of beautiful bike paths Sunriver has to offer, or rent a moped from Sunriver Moped Rentals. Try your hand at miniature golf, or rock climbing along with other family-

he history of Sunriver, from its early settlers to becoming a World War II training camp to the creation of a residential community and world class resort, is chronicled in the new book, Images of America: Sunriver. Printed by Arcadia Publishing and written by Bend author Tor Hanson, the 127-page softbound book is a photographic journey of Sunriver’s past and present. You may have seen these popular books — as many have been printed about various regions and historical topics within Central Oregon. Hanson also wrote the book Images of America: Camp Abbot about the World War II training camp that occupied where Sunriver sits today. Hanson spent hundreds of hours doing research and sifted through thousands of images on file at the Sunriver Owners Association and Deschutes Historical Society. Longtime residents, Sunriver Fire & Rescue, Sunriver Resort and the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce also provided images and information for the book. Hanson perused every issue of the Sunriver Scene as well as its predecessor, Harold, looking for tidbits of historical relevance as far back as the 1970s. A perfect souvenir for anyone visiting or living in Sunriver, the book is available from the Sunriver Owners Association at the administration office at 57455 Abbot Drive or from Sunriver Books & Music in The Village.

Summers are full of outdoor play! The best way to relax after a full day’s activity is sitting on the deck in the late afternoon shade with a tantalizing book and a glass of lemonade. Whether you are visiting Sunriver for a weekend, or staying a lifetime, Sunriver is

Explore Nature, Seek The Stars

Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory

visit to Sunriver is not complete without a stop at Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory. Whether you are an early bird or a night owl, there’s an activity for everyone. Located next to Lake Aspen and nestled among eight-acres of pine forest, wetland and meadow habitats, Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory is your gateway to the natural world, distant galaxies and everything in between! During the day, gather the family, hop on your bikes and head along Sunriver’s bike paths toward the Nature Center. A team of naturalists await your visit and are eager to introduce the natural world to curious minds. Children and adults will enjoy seeking out snakes, lizards, frogs and salamanders within the dark corners of the Creature Cave. From there you’ll want to stop

at Exploration Ridge where the youngest future scientists play, build and discover nature in a different way with each visit. Stroll through the botanical garden, an oasis for wildflowers, pollinators and birds. Visit live owls, hawks and an eagle and learn about their stories of rehabilitation. Complete your daytime visit with wildlife watching on the shores of Lake Aspen, and at the Observatory for special views of the sun through filtered telescopes. After dark, plan to visit Oregon Observatory, the largest of its kind in the country, for awe-inspiring views of the night sky. Sunriver’s elevation, dark skies free of light pollution, and crisp clear air, make it the perfect location for stargazing. Over a dozen telescopes ranging in size and focused at different objects in the night sky are available for enjoying spectacular views and learning about our universe.

Experience the High Desert Museum

Where Memories are Made

day at the High Desert Museum is the perfect way to discover what makes Central Oregon unique. Nestled on 135 wooded acres just north of Sunriver, the Museum offers indoor and outdoor exhibits that spark curiosity and inspire exploration in visitors of all ages. Consistently ranked as a top thing to do in Central Oregon by TripAdvisor, this regional treasure is a must for your visit. Here you’ll find yourself face to face with wildlife native to the High Desert. In the Desertarium, you’ll learn about creatures including burrowing owls and Western pond turtles. Visit the Autzen Otter Exhibit, where you’ll giggle at the playful antics of Brook, Rogue and Pitch as they swim, run and tumble. See eagles and owls up close in the Donald M. Kerr Birds of Prey Center, and learn about them during daily Bird of Prey Encounters. In the summer, experience the speed and power of nature’s most spectacular predators during the daily Raptors of the Desert Sky free-flight program. Step back in time and connect to the region’s past to present as you wander through dynamic, permanent exhibits such as By Hand Through Memory, which shares the culture of Plateau tribes, and Spirit of the West, which journeys through how the High Desert changed in the 19th century. Discover what frontier life was like from the living Photos courtesy of the High Desert Museum history characters at the 1904 Miller Family Ranch, where Mrs. Miller will encourage you to explore her log cabin, tend to her garden, meet her chickens and play favorite turn-of-the-century games. Wander up the hill to see the authentic Lazinka Sawmill, which was used at the turn of the 20th century. With up to 12 changing exhibits each year, there’s always something new to explore at the Museum. For instance, learn how animals use sight, smell and other skills to find their way in Animal Journeys: Navigating in Nature, open through July 8, 2019. And through Sept. 29, 2019, dive into the myriad ways water permeates life in the High Desert in the original exhibition Desert Reflections: Water Shapes the West, which combines art, Native cultures, science and more to illuminate water’s role in the region. Throughout the year, the Museum presents fantastic workshops, events, kids camps and special programs, offering something for everyone. Enjoy a freshly made lunch in the Museum’s Rimrock Café and pick up a unique gift or souvenir in the Museum’s store. “Fun museum with indoor and outdoor activities for year-round visits. Tons of culturally interesting, hands-on exhibits that are great for families, dates or just going by yourself. If you are visiting Bend or Sunriver, you should definitely visit the High Desert Museum.” — Trip Advisor Reviewer highdesertmuseum.org 2019-20 | SunriverChamber.com

Join the Sunriver Music Festival for an abundance of concerts over two lively weeks in August. This season’s summer festival will feature world-class musicians from all around the nation. It’s a festival full of classical and Pops concerts, masterclasses, fundraisers, and even the rehearsals are open to the public. Many of these visiting musicians from prestigious orchestras are handpicked for the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra by Artistic Director George Hanson. Concerts are held at the historic Great Hall in Sunriver and in Bend at the Tower Theatre and the Summit High School auditorium. The 2019 Summer Festival’s opening night concert on August 10 features internationally famous Steinway Artist Olga Kern at the Tower Theatre. Russian-American pianist Olga Kern is recognized as one of the generation’s great artists. With her vivid stage presence, passionately confident musicianship and extraordinary technique, the striking pianist continues to captivate fans and critics alike.

Sunriver Traditions

he Christmas season is always a magical time of year, but in Sunriver a combination of snow, ginger-bread houses and sleigh rides bring to mind a picture-perfect holiday fit for a Frank Capra movie. At Sunriver Resort, you and your children can visit Santa’s Workshop for your chance to make home-made crafts, just like one of Santa’s elves. Or perhaps you’d rather experience a sugarplum story time, ornament workshop or magic show. To kick off the season, enjoy the Grand Illumination festivities on November 17, which include unique light displays, children’s crafts, fireworks and more! Or treat yourself to a sleigh ride on an old-fashioned, horse-drawn sleigh. And once the Christmas magic is over, celebrate the New Year with a full slate of activities to ring out the old and bring in the new. Holiday Dining Events Relax and let Sunriver Resort do the cooking at one of several holiday dining events including Thanks-giving, Christmas and New Year’s buffets, as well as Breakfast with Santa.

Gingerbread Junction The largest collection of gingerbread houses in the Northwest are on display in the Sunriver Lodge. Families can see the extravagantly decorated houses, and proceeds go to a local charity. Santa’s Workshop Step into the magical world of Santa’s Workshop and create your own crafts or Build-A-Bear. Elf Tuck-Ins Imagine the light in your children’s eyes when they receive a special bedtime story from one of Santa’s elves. Guests of Sunriver Resort can request one of the resort’s elves to stop by for an Elf Tuck-In to read a magical story and bid the children goodnight. SunriverResortTraditions.com

More than 80 artists will display and sell their original artwork, including ceramics, glass, jewelry, painting, photography, sculpture, textiles, woodworking, drawing and mixed media. There is a mix of styles to meet a range of personal tastes and budgets. It makes for a great weekend of art, music and sunshine. Several perennial favorites will return, as well as many new artists who will exhibit for the first time this year. Live professional entertainment enhances the setting, with a range of styles from Hawaiian to bluegrass to swing. Add a variety of dining options from quick bites to fine restaurants, to

make a fun family event. Drop in to the Children’s Art Center, popular with budding artists and giving parents the option to shop the Fair. The children’s center is open from 10am-1pm.

Living in Sunriver, Sunriver Style

A Letter from a Sunriver Resident

Dear Friend, unriver Magazine is primarily focused on those of you who are visitors and is intended to maximize your enjoyment while you are here. But what many of you may not realize is that Sunriver is one of the largest unincorporated “cities” in the state and that several thousand of us call this special place our home. We have our own fire and police department, our own K-8th school, our own library and mall with stores, brew houses, and restaurants. And where else can you live with the beautiful Deschutes River running along the edge of your community? What’s it like to live here year-round? Well, for most of us, it is like being on a permanent vacation. Like most permanent residents, we first visited Sunriver for vacations. We would either come for a week in the summer or for long ski weekends in the winter. Then, when it was time to retire, we asked ourselves if we wanted to stay where we were currently living, or move to where we could play year-round. When we weighed the pros and cons, the decision was easy. We moved to Sunriver permanently. So while most of us are retired, a growing number of us are still working. A recent study found that Central Oregon, including Sunriver, has the highest percentage of work-at-home workers of anyplace in the country. Think of being able to get up from your office desk to take a break and go out your back door for a walk or bike ride on our 34 miles of paths, or snowshoe on the golf course, or head to the SHARC to exercise or swim, and then come back and go back to work… all without having to get in your car. Since 2000, the City of Bend has grown from 52,000 to close to 100,000. So more and more folks are choosing to live in Sunriver even if they work in Bend. After all, it’s only a 15-20 minute drive on a four lane divided highway. How many of you who are thinking of relocating to Central Oregon

currently have this short of commute? Why not live where you can breathe, not fight the traffic and have a real sense of community? One of the attractive features of Sunriver is that it has no natives. All of us came here from some-where else. So we are very accepting of newcomers, and eager to make new friends. Name me a community that still has a Community Potluck… ours have been going non-stop for almost 50 years. Speaking of 50 years… that’s how old our community is. One might think that makes us old. But look around and you’ll see that we aren’t. We’ve undergone a facelift and done some things to stay young. Here are a few of our recent improvements: • Remodeled the buildings at The Village at Sunriver • Built SHARC (Sunriver Homeowners Aquatics and Recreation Center) • Created a new boat launch for homeowners and their guests on the Deschutes River • Repaved all of our roads and 34 miles of bike paths • Replaced all of the children’s climbing equipment at Fort Rock Park For those of you who have not been to Sunriver this year, you’ll notice our latest enhancement. For years, the entrance to The Village at Sunriver has been a real bottleneck. This year, the community decided to put in two new circles to make it easier and quicker to get into and out of The Village and the rest of the community. Most of the improvements and amenities that have been built in the past ten years have come from money set aside in our reserve fund, yet we currently pay only $128 in monthly maintenance fees. So if you are giving some thought to making Sunriver your home, come visit the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce in the Sunriver Business Park to find all the information you’ll need. Sincerely, John Salzer, 20-Year Permanent Resident

Upper Deschutes River Communities

he focus of the Upper Deschutes River Communities (UDRC) is communication and outreach to the community residents, the U.S. Forest Service, the State of Oregon, Deschutes County and community partners. Activities of the UDRC include monthly public informational meetings and large public meetings that focus on understanding the issues relating to water flows on the Upper Deschutes River, the Deschutes river basin and protection of the community from wildfires.

awareness and actions of residents regarding infrastructure, buildings, landscaping, and the surrounding ecosystem lessens the need for extensive protection actions and enables the community to safely accept fire as a part of the surrounding

land-scape." It is a human community consisting of informed and prepared citizens collaboratively planning and taking action to safely co-exist with wildland fire. UDRC.org

The UDRC promotes and helps homeowners to be “fire wise” by creating defensible space on their property. Defensible space is a 30-100’ fire-resistant buffer around a home that reduces the spread of fire and the likelihood of a smoldering ember igniting a home. Reducing flammable vegetation and brush around a home and under nearby trees reduces the potential of fire spreading to a home. Pruning trees away from a roof and other vegetation will reduce the “ladder effect” of fire. Once a home owner creates a defensible space around their home it is important to maintain the space. Trimming back the amount of brush and vegetation on a property reduces the intensity of a fire. Spacing out bitterbrush and keeping grasses mowed low keeps flames short and embers from taking flight so firefighters have a working change of protecting the home and property. A fire adapted community is defined by the United States Forest Service as "a knowledgeable and engaged community in which the 2019-20 | SunriverChamber.com

One such group is Care & Share, which provides nourishing food to about 200 low-income families in South Deschutes County on the last Friday of every month, a time when other sources of support may be depleted. Volunteers pick up food at various retail outlets, package fresh fruit, pack the donated food in boxes, and help load clients’ cars. Madeline Bednarek, 541-593-3653 One of the largest groups of volunteers in Sunriver dedicates their time to the Second Tern Thrift Store, located in Spring River Plaza.

With 34 miles of pathways, five miles of riverbank and a national forest next door, your dog will never run out of places to sniff and explore... and the dog walker in the family will never have to take the same path twice. Enjoy the serenity of the outdoors and allow the magic of the forest to stimulate all human and canine senses. A particularly scenic area for walking is along the Deschutes River, and great for wildlife viewing. Whether you are staying in a vacation rental or the Sunriver Resort, you will be able to find many dog-friendly accommodations. Most rental properties are dog friendly. Be sure to verify with your property manager. Bennington Properties offers a complimentary dog wash (April through October) and an off-leash recreation park open to all guests and owners in Sunriver.

There are numerous clean up/ disposal stations along the pathways and at Fort Rock park for your convenience. For those who are ready to explore the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, many of the lakes provide dogs with a welcome relief from the summer heat. Elk Lake is a wonderful place for dogs to play in the water and the lodge is pet-friendly as well. For a quieter experience and fewer crowds, try Little Lava Lake.

These snow parks offer a range of groomed and natural areas for snowshoeing and cross country skiing options for all abilities. Have you ever tried skijoring? It feels like cross country skiing with superpowers. Skijoring, or cross country skiing while being pulled by a dog, makes every glide a little longer and every effort a little easier So plan your visit to Sunriver with Fido included and get ready to create some memories for every member of your family.

Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce Focuses on Service

he mission of the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce is To Promote and Enhance the Economic Vitality of the Sunriver Area Communities. To accomplish this mission, the Chamber’s primary focus is on helping local businesses grow and thrive.

Why F

Businesses Choose Sunriver?

or the past 50 years, the unincorporated resort community of Sunriver has been the destination for travelers across the country looking for a family-friendly vacation in some of America’s most beautiful and diverse landscapes. With roughly 4,200 homes nestled among the pines, Sunriver hosts the largest destination resort in Oregon. But Sunriver is much more than a resort. Nearly one-quarter of those homes are occupied by permanent residents, who own or work at local businesses, support Sunriver area schools, health care services, retail stores, restaurants and other high-quality amenities. Historically, Sunriver has played an outsized (and often unrecognized) role in the growth and prosperity of the entire Central Oregon region. Only a few years after Sunriver Resort’s establishment, the Central Oregon Visitors Association (COVA) was founded in 1971 to help proactively market the region, thanks in part to room taxes collected. Since then, COVA has deployed more than $40 million in strategic marketing and advertising putting Central Oregon on the map. A dozen years after the resort was founded, another nonprofit came together to form what is now known as EDCO (Economic Development for Central Oregon). Its purpose was to help build other industries alongside tourism to create a diversified economy that would be able to better withstand economic cycles. The synergy between these two organizations has been important for the region. COVA serves as Sunriver’s official visitor’s center, and runs headquarter operations from its office in the heart of The Village at Sunriver. EDCO serves the Sunriver area from a satellite office in La Pine. The Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce has also been a long-established support system for businesses in the

area by offering business development and educational programs, providing local business referrals, and serving as a facilitator on Sunriver area business issues. The Chamber operates a business center and co-working space from its office in the Sunriver Business Park. Speaking of the Sunriver Business Park, it is home to one of the most successful and celebrated craft breweries in the nation. Sunriver Brewing has won numerous gold medals both at the national and state level since its inception in 2012. Since then, the company has grown to more than 150 employees between its brewing and pub operations in Sunriver and Bend. While Sunriver Brewing has a very public profile, there are many other home-based businesses that quietly provide goods and services to customers across the country. For example, Cascade Wellness Technologies, a manufacturer of a revolutionary new therapeutic device, came together in the founder’s garage. Similar entrepreneurial success stories abound in the Sunriver area and throughout Central Oregon. The incredible scenic beauty of Sunriver is the primary contributor to its #1 asset: human talent. Currently, the Sunriver and La Pine area has some of the largest percentages of residents that commute to jobs. They also have some of the longest commutes in the region, which is a very real opportunity for employers to capture a skilled, experienced and talented workforce with jobs that are closer to home. That workforce is growing, and the migration of corporate transplants from the nation’s biggest cities is bolstering the already impressive “bench strength” in a diverse array of professional disciplines. As an employer, this means easier recruitment and better retention. edcoinfo.com/sunriver-la-pine

Continued from page 120 We are just 15 minutes from Bend, located in the heart of Central Oregon at about 4,200 feet elevation with 300 or so days of sunshine. The Sunriver area’s natural beauty — blended with access to resort amenities — make it a dream place to live for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the Big City. Residents thrive with little traffic, a small population and less building density. The Sunriver and TRS neighborhoods offer sanctuary to nature, wildlife and people who want to escape the modern world’s noise and haste. We have all the creature comforts, and we value community connections and new friendships. Property Values: A wide variety of homes are available to buyers in both the Sunriver and TRS communities. Looking at sales over a recent one-year period in Sunriver, prices ranged from about $300,000 to $1.6 million. The average Sunriver home sold for about $540,000 and $240 per square foot.

Continued from page 125 In TRS, selling prices during this same one year period ranged from about $250,000 to $2.65 million. The average home sold for about $554,000 and $244 per square foot. When evaluating a specific property for the purpose of making a purchase, local realtors can provide the in-depth research you

need based on a number of factors, including floorplan, historical repairs/condition, zoning, HOA or CCR restrictions, taxes, utilities and many others. On-line websites donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide this level of information. Building Costs/Rental Policies: Generally, the building costs in the Sunriver area are lower than places like the City of Bend, which has higher development charges. Rental policies here also tend to be more flexible. Many visitors elect to buy a second home or investment home here to perpetuate a family legacy or for rental income between their vacations. Vacation rental homes in Sunriver average between 100-125 nights per year. Sunriver Amenities: Many people find that once living or vacationing here, there is no need to travel elsewhere. Snuggled between 11 interconnected â&#x20AC;&#x153;villages,â&#x20AC;? owners and guests commonly travel by foot or bike via the paved pathways to nearby shops, stores and fitness facilities. Or they take their cars on the well-maintained roads. Sunriver is served by its own police and fire departments.

SROA, Dues, CCRs: Property ownership includes membership in the Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) and entitles owners to use the community’s recreational amenities and provides for maintenance of the roads, trails, common areas and facilities with monthly dues of $128.35. SROA regulations also govern housing styles and landscaping guidelines to preserve Sunriver’s nature-based living. It’s important to know that in certain housing tracts there may be additional Homeowner Association fees and specific Covenants, Codes and Restrictions (CCRS). These rules may or may not prohibit overnight vacation or long-term rentals, and may include exclusive use of certain pools and sports courts, and some do not allow hot tubs. Three Rivers South Properties: This area is aptly named for the 27 communities between Sunriver and La Pine that can intersect or are near the Deschutes, Spring and Fall rivers. TRS is for those who want homes with views, but with greater variety of Continued on page 129 2019-20 | SunriverChamber.com
