About 10 miles west of Bend, Tumalo Falls is one of the most popular sights in the area. The 97-foot waterfall plunges off a sheer wall to the roaring river below. You can view the falls from an observation area near the parking lot, which looks up the river to the wall of water pouring over the cliff. This is the best view of the falls, but if you want a closer view and a different perspective, you can also hike up a .2-mile trail that leaves from near the restrooms at the Tumalo Falls Picnic Area. At the edge of the falls is a fenced area, where you can look down on the falls. A hiking trail continues on from here. If you are so inclined you can hike about two miles up Tumalo Creek to a view over a double falls and beyond to upper falls, and then return the same way. For an extended hike, you can continue on a loop trail, which intersects with other trails, creating an approximately seven-mile hike. Be sure you have a map or know where you are going before embarking on your hike.

Only two miles up O.B. Riley Road. All the state parks we have been to are really nice. This park is one of the best. The Deschutes River runs through the park. The rock formation across the park are beautiful. At the back end of the park are hiking trails.
