Cultus Lake Resort in Bend, Oregon is a favorite Pacific Northwest destination for family vacations. Cultus Lake is one of the largest and deepest in Central Oregon, and one of the most popular because it is one of the few that allows high speed motorized water craft. The pristine, tree-rimmed lake is bustling with summertime fun seekers water-skiing, windsurfing, swimming, sailing, and jet skiing on the lake as well as hiking and biking the trails that lead north into the Three Sisters Wilderness. The resort’s store has everything you need for a day on the lake or beach, from ice to cold beverages to fishing tackle to water toys. Take a break from cooking and tuck in to a hearty home-cooked breakfast, lunch or dinner at the country restaurant. Weekly specials include an all-you-can-eat rib dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, and a breakfast buffet on Sunday mornings. Order up a milkshake or ice cream cone at the lunch counter and enjoy it on the resort’s beautiful outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Guests can moor boats at the marina, or rent one of the resort’s motor boats, pontoons, kayaks, jet skis or paddle boards. The resort’s season opening and closing dates vary so call or visit the web site for specific dates and reservations.
