Swimming in Bend doesn't just include resort swimming pools...Pools are fun and all, but we like to add a little more adventure and a little more of the outdoors to everything we do here in Bend. What could be more fun than taking a dip at a local lake, finding a serene swimming hole along the river, or even a warm evening soak under the stars in natural hot springs?
We have the list of some of our favorite swimming spots around Central Oregon.
