Small riverside park on the Deschutes River with rocky outcrops, willow-lined banks and clear water — good for reflections, long exposures of flowing water, kayakers and intimate landscape frames. No entry fee; parking along Comet Ln and a short walk to the river. Best light at golden hour (sunrise faces east along the river; sunset lights canyon walls). Summer brings activity and late light; spring/fall give higher flows and colorful foliage. Paths are easy; leash rules may apply for dogs.
