Meadow Camp is a popular takeout for Bend's most popular summer kayak run (Class IV whitewater), featuring a developed trail system and park access.

The small parking area frequently fills on busy days and may experience overflow parking on the roadway, with occasional conflicts with neighborhood residents over noise and parking.

Whitewater boaters prefer this takeout despite limited parking because it avoids flatwater and reduces shuttle lengths compared to the more developed Riverbend Park downstream.
