Small riverside park on the Deschutes River with sweeping river bends, exposed basalt, cottonwoods and low cliffs — great for intimate landscape and waterscape shots. No entry fee; small parking lot off NW Discovery Drive. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light on cliffs and reflections; autumn and spring bring color and dynamic water. Trails are short and mostly flat but can be uneven; dog traffic is common, so weekdays or early mornings offer quieter conditions.
