The Dirt, the Water & the Wildlife     

Base Camp: Sisters, Oregon

by Kyla Merwin Cheney         

 

Suttle Lake gazebo  When you make your base camp in Sisters, this first thing you'll notice is the compact western town, brimming with shops, eateries, and a brewery  

of their own (Three Creeks Brewing ).


Hidden from the hubbub, however, waits the dirt, the water, and the wildlife. Spin out of civilization on these five favorite lake and river trails - a stone's throw from Sisters, Oregon.  Find inside info on:  The Metolius River Trail, Suttle Lake Shoreline Trail, Tam MacArthur Rim, Park Meadows, and Patjens Lake.
