Big Pine Loop Hike

Overview

The 2,300-acre LaPine State Park is a quiet oasis of ponderosa pine parkland south of Sunriver on the Deschutes River. The park has several loop trails that take in most of its features. The trails are little traveled except on busy summer weekends, and there is a good chance of seeing some of the local denizens, especially deer and elk. This double loop has minimal elevation gain and takes in one of the world’s tallest ponderosa pines as well as viewpoints of the Deschutes and the looping backwater called The Dead Slough.
