Shevlin Park
A large natural park in the Tumalo Creek canyon on the west side of town, with forest trails and a creek suited to hiking, mountain biking, and trail running.
Shevlin Park covers about 400 hectares on Bend's western edge. Tumalo Creek winds through the canyon, flanked by ponderosa pine and aspen forests. Its roughly 10 km of loop trails connect a network of paths, making the park suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing. The scenery is especially lovely in autumn, when the aspens turn yellow. Admission is free, and the park has picnic areas and a historic cabin.
