Highlights
Outing Highlights
River access road — rapids, pools and open sky
The route follows river access roads where you scan favorite rapids, swimming and fishing holes. The ride’s fat‑tire, suspension‑equipped e‑bikes make this breezy river corridor easy to cover while leaving time to stop and wade or swim.
Sherars Falls and traditional fishing platforms
Sherars Falls is home to traditional Warm Springs bands fishing grounds; the impressive platforms are still used for dip‑net fishing and—by appointment—you can enhance your visit with a tribal elder who shares history and legends of the First People.
White River Falls and early hydroelectric remains
White River Falls plunges roughly 90 feet into a large pool, then cascades downstream; from the main viewpoint you can see the remains of one of Oregon’s first hydroelectric plants that supplied power from 1910 until 1963.
