Photograph the historic Old Mill Bridge spanning the Deschutes River with basalt cliffs, river reflections and the industrial-to-creative Mill District backdrop. Best at golden hour or sunset for warm light on stone and colorful skies; spring brings higher flows and dynamic water, fall adds foliage. Easily accessible from downtown Bend with nearby street parking and paved riverfront trails; no entry fee. Weekday mornings are quieter. Respect private businesses along the district.
