## Recreation

The unique location of Paulina Lake Campground offers visitors opportunities
to hike shoreline trails and alpine vistas.  
  
  
  
Visitors can also take advantage of time on the lake, boating, kayaking and
fishing.  
  
  
For anglers, this lake offers fantastic fishing opportunities. Spanning a
surface area of 1,531 acres, the lake supports rainbow trout, brown trout and
Kokanee salmon.  
  
  
In September, the outlet of Paulina Lake may be choked with Kokanee moving to
spawn in Paulina Creek.

## Facilities

Paulina Lake campground has excellent sites for all forms of camping and
plenty of large sites for RVs.  
  
Picnic areas, boating, shoreline trails, and stunning views of the lake, along
with the conveniences of drinking water and flush toilets, give visitors the
opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while still having many of the conveniences
of home.

## Natural Features

Paulina Lake is located within the collapsed crater, or "caldera" of Newberry
Volcano. Nearly five miles in diameter, this caldera encircles the basins of
Paulina Lake, and its twin, East Lake.  
  
Neither lake receives water from an inlet stream, but instead, rely on rain,
snowmelt and hot springs for water. Paulina Creek drains the lake and has
chiseled a narrow gorge through the caldera's west wall creating a remarkable
twin waterfall. Thermal vents and hot springs along the lake's northeast edge
help create a highly productive ecosystem.  
  
Wetlands, diverse forests, and rocky slopes near the campground provide a
necessary habitat for shorebirds, porcupine, deer, bats and the occasional
black bear.

## Nearby Attractions

Lava Lands Visitor Center in nearby Bend, Oregon, is a great starting point
for visitors to learn about the diverse landscape and history of the area
through interpretive programs and exhibits.

section of the cave is the longest continuous lava tube in Oregon.  
  
A rustic lodge near the campground, operating under a special use permit from
the Deschutes National Forest, offers visitors lodging, last minute essentials
and a cafe.

Pine Mountain Campground

## Overview

Big River Campground is located along the Deschutes River south of the town of
Sunriver. Large, open group sites offer a perfect setting for family reunions
or group gatherings.

## Recreation

Popular activities in the area include hiking, fishing and rafting in the
summer months and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Big
River provides the perfect place to launch a canoe or kayak into the Deschutes
River. Only non-motorized boating is permitted on the river, and the water is
Class II flatwater for about 6 miles below Sunriver. The Deschutes River is
renowned for its fly fishing, and sustains populations of kokanee, rainbow,
bull and brown trout. Boat fishing or drift fishing is the best way to catch
fish at this part of the river.

## Facilities

Big River Campground offers three group sites that accommodate both tent and
RV camping and 10 single sites.  
  
The sites are equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings with grills and
vault toilets.  
  
A boat launch is located across the road and provides access to the
waterfront.

## Natural Features

Nearby peaks, lava flows and Ponderosa pine stands provide visitors with a
variety of landscapes, showcasing ecosystems typical of central Oregon.  
  
The Deschutes River, a tributary of the Columbia River, is central to the
campground. The river flows through areas of ponderosa and aspen, with its
shoreline varying from marshy meadows to basalt bedrock. Flows fluctuate less
on this part of the river because of tributaries, and the river features many
deep pools, a relatively stable bank and rocky in-stream structure.  
  
Wildlife found in the area include deer, elk, native fish and migratory birds.

## Nearby Attractions

Visitors can explore wilderness areas, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, and
hundreds of miles of hiking trails. Newberry National Volcanic Monument offers
a glimpse into Central Oregon's rich geologic history. Travel 12 miles to Lava
Lands Visitor Center to explore exhibits at the interpretive center, attend a
ranger talk, take in scenic views from the top of Lava Butte and travel one-
mile underground through Lava River Cave. Travel 25 miles to Newberry Caldera
to visit Paulina and East Lake, Paulina Peak and Paulina Falls. Big River
Campground offers easy access to the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway which weaves
through multiple high lakes with views of South Sister, Broken Top and Mt.
Bachelor.
