Lava Island Access

Lava Island Day Use Area provides river access and a take-out point for rafters on the Deschutes River, with no boat ramp available for trailer backing. The site also offers access to the Deschutes River Trail for hiking and biking.

A recreation pass is required for parking ($5/day), and travel downstream beyond this point is not recommended due to dangerous rapids.
