Just 25 miles southwest from Bend, Elk Lake Resort provides lodging, dining, and seasonal rentals to enjoy a variety of summer and winter activities at Elk Lake, known for its transparency, at nearly 4900 feet above sea level in the central Cascade Range.
In the summer rent paddle boards, single and double kayaks, canoes, or a variety of watercraft to enjoy with a group, including the “Day Dock,” “Free Spirit” scenic cruiser, available for a quiet cruise or a more private lake experience, and Pontoon Boats. In the winter book round-trip transportation via Snow Cat if you don’t have snowmobiles or skis, as well as snowmobiles and snowshoes by the hour.
Bend has so many different places to see, eat and do, you almost can’t fully see what makes Bend so special. Tom’s top picks for Bend include a mix of casual to fine dining options, outdoor activities, in town shops, and outdoor exploring. This mix of options will allow you to see every reason why Bend is truly amazing!
