Big Eddy Access provides day-use access to the Deschutes River with a parking lot, restrooms, and picnic facilities located about 7 miles west of Bend via Cascade Lakes Highway.

A $5 recreation pass is required per vehicle per day, and the site serves as a trailhead for the Deschutes River Trail, offering access to whitewater rapids suitable for intermediate paddlers and fishing opportunities.

Dogs must be leashed year-round at the trailhead and on the river trail from May 15 to September 15.
