Sunriver Cycling

Being a guest of Sunriver Resort means you have great mountain bike trails within shouting distance of your front door. Come ride with Cog Wild to expereince the trails that will complete your Central Oregon vacation. A signature feature of the area is Lava Butte and the huge lava flow that sprawls from the butte across the landscape to the Deschutes river, 4 1/2 miles away. Cog Wild will start your tour from the top of the Butte from where we travel along the lava flow and along the rushing river, all on fun cycling trails.

Cog Wild can meet you at the Sunriver Lodge, or pick you up at your vacation home. The tour starts at the top of Lava Butte - make sure to bring your camera to capture the views of the entire Cascade range including Mt Bachelor, the Three Sisters, Broken Top, Mt Jefferson and Mt Washington.
After a paved road descent off the butte, the rest of our cycling tour is on dirt and lava rock. We will ride a narrow and buff trail skirting the massive lava flow all the way to the Deschutes River. Along our ride we can opt to ride out on to the flow, giving us an amazing perspective on how big and scary the flow must have been when it was still hot.
Once on the river, the trail continues down to Benham Falls, a tumultuous class 5 rapid. If you are lucky, you may see a daring kayaker brave the huge rapids. Our ride will bring us right back to Sunriver Lodge, and you will arrive tired and happy after experiencing the legacy of Sunrivers volcanic past.
