Description

This trail connects the Lava Lands Visitor Center to the Deschutes River Trail. It's a beautiful, flowing trail that abuts an old lava flow that's easy to follow. The trail has just a few rocky bits, but it's definitely an easy trail otherwise. It's a nice and shaded trail, with views every once in awhile of the lava flow and the Cascade Range. It ends at the Deschutes River, though you can hop on the Deschutes River Trail toward Bend or Sun River.

I a nice flow trail (especially downhill)... there are a couple (volcanic) rock gardens that give it technical feel and can be brutal on tires if you get pinched or hit one directly (I blew my rear tire 2 miles in). Jul 10, 2015
