Big Eddy Kayaking (video footage)
Big Eddy is located close to Bend off the Cascade Lakes Highway, on NF 41, on the Deschutes River. This area is known for its whitewater rafting adventures and stunning scenery. These Class III rapids wind around the beautiful Deschutes River.
The nearby parking lot has Deschutes National Forest maintained toilet facilities and a picnic table.
There is a Recreation Fee Site: Parking at this site requires a recreation pass May 1 – September 30. Passes are NOT available at this site, but can be purchased from Forest Service offices or vendors. Please check here for more information about recreation passes and where they can be purchased.
Film Permits must be obtained from the Deschutes National Forest, well in advance of the shoot (please give at least 21-30 days notice for film permits). COFO can help you with that.
Directions from Bend: Travel approximately 7 miles west on Cascade Lakes Highway (Highway 46), then south on Forest Road 41 for 1 1/2 miles. Follow the directional signs. The turn off for the Forest Road is opposite the Cascade Lakes Highway visitor center.
