Travelers

You push off from the Old Mill District and the river takes over the scene: the Deschutes bends and bright water catches the light while a line of breweries, cafés and brick warehouses slides past. The e-bike hums more than it whirs, and suddenly hills that would have meant sweating and pushing feel like gentle suggestions. Within minutes you’re on a dedicated bike path, the river daring you to keep going — past dog parks, sandstone bluffs and a downtown that’s as easy to explore by pedal as it is on foot.

Adventure Tips

Charge and conserve

Set assist to a lower level on flats and reserve higher assist for hills — you’ll stretch a 15–30 mile range into a longer outing.

Helmet required

Helmets are provided and mandatory for all riders aged 16 and up — always wear it when riding.

Lock it up

Use the included bike lock when stopping for food or brewery visits; downtown racks fill quickly on weekends.

Share the path

Ride at a polite speed through mixed-use sections and announce passes — walkers and dogs are common along the Deschutes.

History

The Old Mill District evolved from historic logging and milling operations into a riverside mixed‑use neighborhood that retains industrial bones repurposed into shops and restaurants.

Conservation

Stick to paved corridors, avoid trampling riverbanks and pack out waste; the Deschutes River corridor is actively managed to protect riparian habitat.
