Just north of Sunriver. It's a wonderful short hike to a beautiful waterfall. If you want to make it more of an excursion, you can ride your bike from our cabin there... a bike trail from the north end of Sunriver connects to Benham falls.

Such a fun lava tube cave. Open spring-early fall. Dress warm (it's cool inside) and have fun seeing how far you can go. This is a place I remember fondly visiting as a child... and a place that my own kids have enjoyed. Just across the highway from Sunriver.

My favorite bike trail is the River loop... ride along the banks of the Deschutes, or when it is warm rent a kayak or tube to float down. Great river for fishing and beautiful year round.

Sightseeing
This is a great museum that does a wonderful job at showcasing the history and nature of Central Oregon. If this is your first time in Central Oregon it's worth a visit. Try to visit on a day when they have the old saw mill working. Fun fact, when our kids were little we were in their commercial!
