Welcome to Sunriver Cascade House — a haven for outdoor lovers, nature seekers, and yes, runners! Whether you're training for your next race or just looking for a scenic jog or bike, Sunriver offers some of the most beautiful and accessible running trails in Central Oregon.

Here are my favorite running routes, starting right from the front door of the house. Each route is linked to my 

 activity, so feel free to check out the elevation, terrain, and turn-by-turn details.

Paved Trail | Forest Views | Waterfall Destination


Starting from the house, this out-and-back route follows the paved Deschutes River Trail and ends with the reward of Benham Falls — a breathtaking cascade worth every step.
 

🌲 Cardinal Bridge – 3 Miles Out & Back

Quick Morning Run | Lakes, Golf Course, and River Views


Perfect for a quick shakeout or sunset jog, this route takes you past peaceful lakes and golf greens to the picturesque Cardinal Bridge. From there, the Deschutes National Forest stretches ahead with endless dirt trails for those wanting more.
 

🏃‍♀️ Beyond the Bridge – 7 Miles Out & Back

Trail Running | Lollipop Loop | Into the Wild


If you're looking for more than pavement, continue past Cardinal Bridge and onto soft dirt paths for a scenic lollipop loop through the forest. A fantastic route for anyone craving solitude and fresh pine-scented air.
 

🚴‍♂️ Tour de Sunriver Loop – 10 Miles

Iconic Landmarks | Full Sunriver Experience


A greatest-hits tour of Sunriver! This loop takes you by the Nature Center, Observatory, Horse Stables, the Village, Cardinal Bridge, and more. You’ll get a true feel for the area with this scenic 10-miler.
 

🏔 Run to the Top of Mt. Bachelor – 8 Miles (Drive to Trailhead)


Ready to level up? Drive ~20 minutes to the base of Mt. Bachelor and run to the summit for jaw-dropping panoramic views. This high-altitude, quad-burning run is not for the faint of heart, but it’s unforgettable.
 

⛰ Tumalo Mountain Peak – 4.25 Miles Round Trip

Shorter Summit | Sweeping Views of the Sisters


Directly across from Mt. Bachelor lies this approachable peak trail. You’ll earn gorgeous views with less climbing — perfect if you’re short on time but still want a summit experience.
 

All these routes are curated by me, your host and fellow endurance sports lover, and most start right from the driveway of Sunriver Cascade House. Whether you're squeezing in a few miles before family activities or planning an epic trail day, you’re in the perfect spot.

Let me know if you'd like custom recommendations or help mapping out longer adventures. Happy running & biking!
