DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST 



THE Deschutes National Forest comprises 1,282,293 acres, located on the 

 eastern slopes of the Cascade Range in central Oregon. It includes the 

 high mountainous country and the high timbered plateau surrounding the 

 headwaters of the Deschutes River and in a separate block, the Paulina ^Mountains. 



The Forest is visited by increasing numbers each year for hunting, camping, 

 and fishing. Along the Cascade Range are several high and attractive snow- 

 capped peaks, a large number of mountain lakes, splendid fishing and camping 

 grounds, excellent duck hunting, and many other features of interest. A widely 

 extended system of roads renders many of these places easily accessible by auto- 

 mobile from points in the Deschutes Valley and from the Willamette \'alley via 

 the McKenzie Road, which connects Eugene, on the main line of the Southern 

 Pacific Railroad, with Sisters and Bend, towms just outside the Forest east of the 

 Cascade Range. Trails lead from these roads into some of the more inaccessible 

 districts. Signboards along the roads and trails indicate the distance and direc- 

 tion to various points. 



Hotel accommodations are obtainable at all towns near the Forest. Accom- 

 modations for travelers are also to be had at a number of other places, including 

 the Metolius River Valley, East Lake, Crescent Lake, and Odell Lake. Horse feed 

 is plentiful at most of the lakes and at many places along the streams. 



Among the points of especial interest are the following: 



Metolius River country, a region created it would seem for the special benefit 

 of the lovers of outdoors, may be reached by excellent automobile road 14 miles 

 from Sisters. Along the river may be found good horse feed, camping grounds, 

 and excellent trout fishing. The Forest Service has set aside the Camp Sherman
