From here you can see out across the meadows to the volcanic peaks of the Three Sisters directly west of Bend. All of the Sisters stand at over 10,000 feet, with South Sister being the tallest at 10,363 feet.

There is parking along the side of Sisemore Road, which makes for a great place to start your ride with pretty views across the reservoir. Bull Creek Dam is right next to the parking pull-off.

La Pine State Park offers 14 miles of multi-use trails on both sides of the Deschutes River. There is a day-use area alongside the river, restrooms, a picnic area, a shady campground and cozy cabins to stay in during the winter. There are plenty of spots overlooking the river and a chance to see Oregon's most giant ponderosa pine, believed to be more than 500 years old.

You will find some flat ground and a picnic bench, but no infrastructure. This is a great location at the Deschutes River to take your boat in or out or to take a dip in the clear water.

Lava Lands is one part of the gigantic Newberry Volcanic Monument around the Newberry Caldera. There are some nice, short trails that take you deeper into the moonlike lava landscape and up to a cinder cone that is even accessible by car. On a busy day or weekend, you might have to reserve a time slot to get up to there. The Visitor Center has interesting information and maps for you.

Parked at lake. Best to ride counter clockwise. Rode mtn bikes with suspension locked. Happy with mtn bike tires on NF 4606 - too rocky and sandy for comfortable gravel bike. Sizemore Rd hard and fast, fine for gravel bike. Trip would be sunny and hot in summer. Great at 65* F.
