Devils Lake is located on the Cascade Lakes Highway, approximately 30 minutes from Bend and is a stunning aquamarine lake.  In the Winter it freezes over, and in early winter can be used as a skating lake.  Deeper in winter, it is completely covered in snow.  The area is a lava forest.

There is parking on the Highway which encompasses a short but steep hike down to the lake. There is also parking off road leading to campsites.

In winter the highway is closed from the Mt. Bachelor access point, but can be accessed via snow mobiles or snow cat.

During the Summer the lakes are maintained by Deschutes National Forest, in winter the permitting process is handled by ODOT (Oregon Dept. of Transportation).

Crux Fermentation Project is a Bend brew pub and working brewery.  The strong colors of the copper barrels give an additional ‘zip’ to any photo shoots, or production.  Located in a former transmission shop, this site has an industrial feel to it.

Centrally located in SW Bend, there is a parking area in front of the pub, and also on the street leading to it.  Additional area for outdoor games and group gatherings is located to the side of the property.  Numerous firepits and large trees make this a picturesque area to shoot.  

Distant mountain views also create strong visuals particularly at sunset.
