About Bend Oregon recreation - Bend is well known for its abundant recreational opportunities.  Skiing & snowboarding, hiking, camping, fishing, world class golf, rock climbing, and rafting are but some of the many things you can do in Bend.  Bend has 37 developed city parks, including 11 acre Drake Park, where outdoor concerts are held, and Juniper Park, featuring indoor and outdoor pools and tennis courts.  Two theatre groups provide entertainment, two museums exhibit the cultural and natural heritage of the area, and Bend is home to a thriving art community.  Annual events include the Cascade Festival of Music, Bend Summer, Fall and Winter Festivals, Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration, Sunriver Music Festival, Pole, Pedal, Paddle Race, and annual Christmas parade and tree lighting.

About Bend’s history/population -  Bend was originally named "Farewell Bend" and was a small town that grew up around a bend in the river that was a common point of departure.  The city was incorporated in 1904 and at that time has about 300 citizens. Bend has grown today to become home to 70,000 residents.  Bend was originally a logging town, however, the abundance of outdoor recreation and natural beauty of Bend has led to a booming tourist industry.

About Bend’s Weather - When you are in Central Oregon, you can count on high desert sunshine, low humidity and an arid climate.  Sunny, clear days and cool nights create enjoyable weather all year for visitors and residents to enjoy.

Depending upon elevation and proximity to the mountains, each city's climate may vary slightly. But with less than 12 inches of precipitation and close to 300 days of sunshine a year, CENTRAL OREGON IS A GREAT PLACE...NO MATTER THE SEASON!
