Here in Bend we are on a bend of the Deshutes. There is a bit of current - no one swims in it, but rafts, kayaks and canoes, not to mention inflateable ducks and all kinds of plastic floaty thingys on the weekend down in town where the high school kids float. You go down there to see girls. Otherwise you go up to one of the take out ramps above rapids and paddle upstream - there ain't nobody there. We get Osprey and a lot of birds along the river.
