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.

Paulina Lake is stunning, surrounded by towering Ponderosa’s and is located in the center of Newberry Crater National Monument.  This is Federal Land, and therefore may be difficult to receive permits to film within.  If you have enough advance notice (60 days), we can work with you to film here provided your shoot follows certain guidelines.

There is a restaurant and cabins on site, and a large area for parking.

Approximately 20 minutes from accommodation in La Pine, and an hour from Bend.

For a permit to be approved, guidelines must be adhered to:

“A plan was established to provide management direction for the Monument.  In the plan, proposals for new commercial uses such as filming/photography were to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis but each must be in keeping with the purposes of the Monument and legislation to be approved.  As such, typical commercial filming would not meet the definition and would be denied.  However, filming/photography that provides for the conservation, protection, interpretation, and enhancement of the Monument to a general public is acceptable.”

Expansive ranch on Highway 27 between Brothers and Roberts.  Multiple barns and cattle corrals on site.  Hill backdrop for contained shots.  Horses and cattle on site (red and black angus mixed together).  Small canyon and river flowing through the property.

2o minutes outside of Prineville for easy accommodation and services access (or 30 minutes from Bend via Highway 20).

Scenic views of deep river canyons or rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is a stunning and unique location. There are several thousand climbs in the park allowing for multiple shoots. With more than a thousand are bolted routes, there is also miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. 

Due to the uniqueness and fragile aspect of the park, park rangers enforce the animal leash law and strongly encourage all park users to stay on trails.  Permits must be applied for 30 days prior to shooting.

During the high season (Spring and Fall) there is only one permit per month issued for productions or events. During Summer and Winter that increases to two per month.
