Deschutes River Photo Tour

Deschutes River Named Riviere des Chutes (River of the Falls) by French fur trappers, the Deschutes flows 250 miles north from its source at Lava Lake near the crest of the Cascades to the Columbia River, east of The Dalles. The porous volcanic rock in the upper portion of the Deschutes basin quickly absorbs snowmelt and rainfall, providing natural storage that creates a very uniform flow. Water that seeps into the ground during storms and snowmelt later emerges from large springs, maintaining river flows through the drier seasons.
