Trails
Deschutes River Trail A 2.4 mile Tumalo segment of the 12-mile Deschutes River Trail is accessible from the day-use area parking lot. The trail follows the Deschutes River south 1.4 miles to Riley Ranch Nature Reserve, which offers additional trails. This section of the river flows through a canyon with high bluffs on either side. Kayakers frequently pass by, and anglers will find many places on the river's edge to cast their lines. Bikes are not allowed on this section of the trail, and dogs are not allowed at Riley Ranch. The trail also continues north along the river for a mile. To access it, cross the river on the OB Riley Road Bridge. This section offers access to some slow-moving sections of the river perfect for wading. Note: Tumalo Falls is not located near Tumalo State Park. This landmark is about a 45-minute drive southwest of the park.
Swimming
Where can I swim? The lakes and rivers found within Oregon State Parks are open to unsupervised swimming. You are responsible for your own safety. Before you enter the water, you should judge your swimming skills against possible strong currents, cold water, underwater objects and steep drop-offs. Remember, that many of our natural bodies of water and man-made reservoirs are filled by snow runoff and remain cold year round. Please bring and wear a personal flotation device and swim with a buddy.
