Small riverside park on the Deschutes River with grassy banks, cottonwoods and easy river access — great for intimate landscape and waterscape shots, seasonal color, and candid lifestyle/dog photography. No entry fee; small parking lot on NE Watson Dr. Paved paths and river access make it wheelchair-friendly in parts. Best at golden hour and sunset for warm light and reflections; spring brings high flows, fall offers color. Weekday mornings are quieter.
