Lake Billy Chinook is about an hour and a half northwest of Bend. Lake Billy was created in the 1960s when a dam was introduced to the three bodies of water that make Lake Billy Chinook. The Deschutes, Crooked River, and the Metolius river all confluence to form this massive reservoir. Lake Billy Chinook is the largest reservoir in Central Oregon, covering nearly 47 square miles. At its longest point, the reservoir spans 28 miles. This reservoir is unique in shape, as it has three long arms created naturally from the Deschutes, Crooked, and Metolius Rivers. The reservoir is named after a Native American, Billy Chinook, of the Wasco Tribe who traveled alongside John Fremont and Kit Carson. This massive reservoir is a summertime playground for boaters, campers, and others looking to spend some time in the great outdoors!

Whether you opt for a 2, 3, 4 or 5 day guided camp trip on the Lower Deschutes River, you can expect a first-class experience. Each day an advanced gear boat, the “bagger,” will row ahead and have a luxurious camp awaiting you at day’s end. The “bagger” is also our camp chef. He prepares mouth-watering dishes that leave no appetite unsatisfied. After a hearty dinner, our guests usually enjoy a cold, malty beverage (or three!) while telling fish stories and stargazing into the immense, dark sky. When it comes time for sleep, oversized tents and comfortable cots await. Mornings in camp can be as laid back as you like, or a mad dash to the water. Regardless, the “bagger” will have coffee and a delicious hot breakfast prepared before you continue down river. Hot BBQ lunches are prepared daily streamside by your guide.
