The Deschutes river is, bar none, the best way to cool off in the summer. The part we float is at Pioneer park, off of Henderson blvd. It takes about an hour and a half to float down to where you get out, but it can take a lot longer depending on how much beer is in the cooler! If you are going to do this for the first time, here are a couple of pointers: wear sandals with full straps (so they won't fall off), take a waterproof container (for smokes or a cell), bring some water to drink (gotta sober up before driving), bring beer in cans (we don't want any glass in the river). PLEASE, try to take out what you bring in, even try to grab some pre existing trash while your at it. If you do these things you are sure to have a blast, just add friends!
