With approval from Governor Brown today, Deschutes County enters into Phase II of re-opening Saturday, June 6. This exciting step means that leisure travel is once again allowed throughout most of Oregon, and more businesses, from restaurants and shops to outfitters and axe throwing bars, will be able to serve you.

Under Phase II guidelines, several business will re-open including museums, theaters, bowling alleys, arcades and more whose doors have been shuttered since the beginning of our lockdown.

We are all itching to get outside and visit our favorite places and spend money at our favorite businesses, and we’ve created the perfect inspiration for your next Bend visit. Remember that game you played as a kid, Never Have I Ever? Now’s your chance to play that game in a whole new way, introducing you and your family and friends to unique Bend experiences that you may not have been able to partake in during your last visit. Maybe your family has never been on a Wanderlust Tours Canoe Tour, trekked the Bend Ale Trail, or gone on a guided fly-fishing trip. Or hey, start using our trip planner today and make up your own version of a Never Have I Ever list.

Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to get your Bend fix until you can visit. With developing guidelines focused on Phase II reopening, it will be important to understand what is and is not acceptable during this time. This website is updated daily with the latest COVID-19 re-opening information, which you can view on our COVID-19 page.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Bend. We’re ready when you are.
