DESCHUTES RIVER TRAILS SYSTEM

WELCOME TO THE DESCHUTES RIVER TRAIL!

The Deschutes River Trail portion of the Bend Urban Trails System allows nearly uninterrupted access to the beautiful waterway that is the heart of the community. The trail system is divided into fi ve “reaches,” defined by landscape characteristics.

The Bend Park and Recreation District is at work building a fully connected river trail between Tumalo State Park and Meadow Camp. Once complete, the trail system will encompass nineteen miles of trails. This map shows existing trails open to the public.

AWBREY REACH

Visitors can access the River Trail at its northernmost point at Kirkaldy Court off of Putnam Rd. This section of the trail, constructed on top of the buried Tumalo irrigation canal, consists of soft-surface and unimproved surfaces, and includes a few moderate hills. Along the middle stretch of this reach, the river drops into a deep canyon but the trail stays high on the canyon wall, offering spectacular views of the river below and the Three Sisters in the distance. A steep climb up the Archie Briggs Canyon Trail connects to Mt. Washington Dr.

RIVER RUN REACH

This section, favored by many locals, is also built over the Tumalo canal and was the first section of river trail to open in 1989. The surface is both soft-surface and unimproved, and is wide and relatively flat. The trail runs between the river and a high canyon wall, and passes through the River’s Edge golf course and adjacent neighborhoods. There are several wetlands in this reach, inhabited by songbirds, trumpeter swans, otter and beaver. Osprey frequently nest and fish here.

PIONEER REACH

This reach passes through the oldest and most established sections of Bend. The trail isn’t always right on the river, but instead follows sidewalks through neighborhoods and downtown. It passes through beautiful Drake Park on Mirror Pond and ends in McKay Park. There are several footbridges along the way offering opportunities to cross the river.

OLD MILL REACH

Once the site of two large ponderosa pine lumber mills, today the Old Mill Reach is a mix of river parks, the Shops at the Old Mill, and areas yet to be developed. Three footbridges connect trail legs on either side of the river, providing convenient walking loops. On the east side, the trails are hard surface from the Old Mill District to the Bill Healy bridge. The trail on the west side offers a mix of hard and soft surfaces. Farewell Bend Park provides two developed boat landings for paddlers using the Deschutes River water trail. The east side trail passes through Farewell Bend Park, which also provides two developed boat landings for paddlers using the Deschutes River water trail.

SOUTH CANYON REACH

This reach has trail legs on both sides of the river, connected by a new footbridge approximately 1 1/2 miles upstream of the Farewell Bend Park bridge. The river flows fast here through a beautiful canyon, cascading over rocks and logs.

West side: This reach’s west-side leg is known as the Mt. Bachelor Village Trail. Here the soft surface trail is open to pedestrians, but cyclists are not allowed. An alternative cycling route connects from the Bill Healy Bridge to the Haul Road Trail along Century Drive.

East side: The east-side trail at the northern end of this reach is unimproved surface, narrow and rocky in places; the southern end is on the gravel ditch road which runs above the river and next to the COID siphon pipe. There are several connections to nearby neighborhoods along the way.

Economic Development For Central Oregon

CENTRAL OREGON OVERVIEW

Regional Population: 244,560 (2020 estimates from Portland State University)

Regional Labor Force: 116,665 (Seasonally adjusted total for Q4 2019 from Oregon Employment Department)

Bend-Redmond MSA GDP Per Capita: $46,903

(2017 estimate from the Bureau of Economic Analysis) *Bureau of Economic Analysis data is only available for the Bend-Redmond MSA

Access to and from our region has never been easier with seven national carriers flying 54+ segments daily to 10 international airports. The best part?

Travel through the Redmond airport is a breeze.

POPULATION

Central Oregon has been among the fastest growing regions anywhere in the U.S.

In-migration has been the dominating factor in the region’s growth with thousands of new residents moving to the area from all over the country every year. At the same time, the region’s ability to attract young families has resulted in strong birth rates.

“Central Oregon’s ability to consistently attract new residents is one of the key reasons our labor force continues to expand year after year. The population growth in the Bend-Redmond MSA, alone, has far outpaced any other Oregon metro for the last eight years.” Kale Donnelly Workforce Analyst, State of Oregon Employment Department

Oregon offers more incentive programs to traded sector businesses (companies that sell products or services outside the area) than Washington and California combined. Even without taking those incentives into consideration, Oregon is still a more cost-effective choice for doing business. Contact EDCO for a detailed look at the business costs in Central Oregon.

Case Study: Holy Kakow

Founded in Portland in 2009, Holy Kakow creates premium organic chocolate sauces and syrups that are used in coffee shops across the nation and globe. After running the business for nearly a decade, founder Wyatt Woods decided a move to Sisters, Oregon would be beneficial for his family. The next step was to figure out how to move the successful business. After EDCO’s help with site selection, incentives, permitting, and more, Holy Kakow was able to move their operations into a new building in the Sisters Business Park. The relocation allowed them to scale for growth, even during the pandemic, expanding their employment from three to eight in the span of a couple months. Holy Kakow have their sights set on new product launches, and with the backing of the community and the growing number of craft food businesses in Sisters, they’re surrounded by a strong business ecosystem to help them succeed.

Get connected to our growing industry clusters that include: Brewing, Bioscience, Outdoor Products, Technology, Automotive, Aerospace, and Advanced Manufacturing.

Our tools to help your company include: linking with the local supply chain, finding talent, incentives, business finance, and more.

WHY CENTRAL OREGON?

When compared against its neighbors to the north and south, Oregon’s overall business costs rank significantly lower. Average electricity rates, natural gas rates, state & local sales tax rates, and business tax climates in particular are significantly lower than the national average.

We help you navigate the regional and local real estate market, infrastructure and permitting processes.

For a relocating business, Central Oregon has a reputation for welcoming new companies without sacrificing workforce, talent, quality healthcare, transportation, or infrastructure. EDCO’s resources and connections can help your business make the right decisions when choosing a new home.

“Central Oregon has an incredible entrepreneurial ecosystem, filled with self-starters and trailblazers. These companies are creating new opportunities with the help of multiple influential organizations. EDCO and the newly-formed food and beverage industry association, Cultivate Bend, support and guide the many product companies that call this region home.”

-Paul Evers, CEO, Riff Cold Brewed

Case Study: Riff Cold Brewed

Riff Cold Brewed was born from a mission to produce the world’s most delicious cold brewed coffee. Serial entrepreneur Paul Evers (also behind Bend staple Crux Fermentation Project), along with a crew of other Central Oregonians, started Riff in late 2017. They opened a bottling and production facility in Redmond, along with the first-of-its-kind Cold Brew Taproom in Bend.

Riff is a great example of how economic development programs are poised to help companies grow. From the beginning, they worked with Redmond Economic Development (REDI) to utilize different tax incentive programs, while connecting with other community resources to help the company position itself to grow more efficiently. In October 2019, Riff presented and won funding at the Bend Venture Conference (BVC), the largest angel conference in the West.

With innovation at its core, Riff has taken the craft brewing expertise to create the next great variation in energy drinks. The funding they received from BVC allowed them to further develop their latest product, Alter Ego, a natural plant-based energy drink brewed from coffee’s little-known fruity pulp, cascara, a traditionally wasted biproduct of coffee.

We mentor and advise scalable young companies from concept to exit on issues such as access to capital, critical expertise and business strategy.

A driving force for our economic performance is a collaborative and inclusive entrepreneurial community. This is supported via the number of new business registrations, which has outpaced far larger cities. In 2019, AdvisorSmith ranked Bend fifth for Top Midsize Cities where Americans Start the Most Businesses at 3.79 business started per 1,000 residents.

The region is large enough to provide resources and access to capital that help new entrepreneurs get started, while still being small enough that those resources are interconnected to support businesses as they grow. Unique to Central Oregon, given its size, are the numerous community resources and assets that are available. Assets managed by EDCO include monthly Central Oregon PubTalks, the Stable of Experts (mentors) and the largest Angel Conference in the West, the Bend Venture Conference.

Source: Wallet Hub, April 2019.

Both Redmond and Bend made Wallet Hub’s Top 10 list for best cities to start a business at #4 and #9 respectively, based on an index of criterial that included business environment rank, access to resources rank and business costs rank. They were the only two Oregon cities to make the top 75 of 1,261 small cities ranked in the index.

GROW

“From our initial startup days through our expansion today, it is refreshing to work with organizations like EDCO, the Redmond Chamber and the City of Redmond. These groups have worked side by side with our team to get us where we are today and have been an asset to our growing business. They are prime examples of organizations focused on supporting sustainable business growth and helping develop a stronger community for years to come!”

-Matt Tobolski, President and Founder, BASX Solutions

Case Study: BASX Solutions

BASX Solutions is an industry leader in the design and manufacturing of high-efficiency data center cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, custom HVAC solutions, and more. Headquartered in Redmond since 2014, BASX has customers across the U.S. and around the globe. They recently broke ground on a new 75,000 square foot building expansion, allowing the company to consolidate its operations while substantially increasing their manufacturing capacity.

The expansion will give BASX approximately 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space while bringing additional jobs to what is already one of the city’s largest employers, nearly doubling their employee count once their facilities are operational and fully staffed.

Part of what drew BASX to Central Oregon in 2012 was the fact that Redmond stood out as a city that values and supports business and manufacturing operations. It became clear quickly that the City, Redmond Economic Development, Inc., the Redmond Chamber, and other organizations work together collectively to support job growth. The ability for these entities to work together seamlessly lured BASX to the region and has spurred their expansion, allowing them to continue focusing on delivering their products to critical industries.

We partner with local traded-sector companies to help them grow and expand, offering them the very same incentives and assistance as relocation projects.

Workforce

Improving the Readiness and Employability of Central Oregon’s Future Workforce

Now in its fourth year, Youth CareerConnect (YCC) continues to connect employers and students with real work experience throughout Central Oregon. By supporting internships and experiential learning opportunities in the community, YCC has made it simpler for schools and employers to connect while fostering a work-ready labor force for years to come.

YCC is equipped to support virtual internships with local companies now that remote learning and remote work are the new norm. High School, college and alternative education students can access virtual training and support, including resume building, interview preparation, guidance for professional work ethics, and more. Since its inception, YCC has built a rolodex of over 240 business partners and placed more than 290 students in meaningful internships. Personalization for both the business and the student is at the core of what YCC does, and why it continues to thrive. To get involved with Youth CareerConnect, visit: youthcareerconnect.org .

Private sector employment growth in the region was 22% higher than Oregon’s average over the last 10 years, and is projected to grow by 12% through 2029.
