Deschutes

We took a two-night, three-day trip down the Lower Deschutes on a late July weekend Friday through Sunday. We launched from Buckhollow around noon on Friday and reached the take-out early afternoon on Sunday. Campsite competion was an issue and we had challenges finding a good site near Ferry Canyon on the first night. We made good time on day two and found a nice site at lunch time at river mile 15 below Jet Pump Rapids on river left where we camped for the night. This set us up for a fun day of whitewater on day three. We were floating on a weekend that was open to jet boats but we saw relatively little traffic on the river.
