Whenever someone asks us for locations with trees, I laugh a little inside as we have millions of trees, of varying kinds (ponderosas, junipers, aspens and lodgepole pine).  Ponderosas are gorgeous and create really stunning locations due to the striations in their bark.  These images were taken between 2-4pm in mid-February, in Shevlin Park.  There is a road that can be utilized by film crew towards the southern side of the park with a Forest service restroom, and a large parking area.  Permits are required through Bend Park and Rec, at least 30 days in advance.

Crane Prairie Reservoir is located off the Cascade Lakes Highway and can be reached from either the Sunriver or Bend side.  The Crane Prairie Reservoir is a huge lake perfect for fly fishing, standup paddleboarding, and any water sports shoots.  The water is very clear allowing for beautiful shots of the area.

The reservoir is located in the Deschutes National Forest just off the scenic Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway. Crane Prairie Reservoir offers a variety of recreation opportunities, including fishing, boating and swimming with glimpses of South Sister and Mt. Bachelor on the horizon.  With cabins and tent sites, this is a great location for a recreational shoot.  There are also fish cleaning stations and Deschutes National Forest restrooms.

Three Creeks Lake is located in a glacial cirque below Tam McArthur Rim, the lake is 28-acre alpine gem with an elevation of 6,550 ft. surrounded by old growth forest. The outlet stream from the lake flows northward and is joined by two other streams to form Three Creek. The shoreline of Three Creek Lake varies from gentle slope to rocky cliff. Maximum depth is 28 feet down the center and near the cliff on the south end of the lake.

Three Creeks Lake provides great views of the Sisters’ Faith (North), Hope (Middle) and Charity (South). The Three Sisters are volcanic peaks and are the third-, fourth- and fifth-highest peaks in Oregon. Three Creeks Lake is easy to fish from shore or by wading, but boat fishing is the most popular method. Only non-motorized boating is allowed.

Permits are required through the Deschutes National Forest.  Please allow up to 21 days to process.
