BEND, what a lovely town. We visited to see one of our favorite artists play at the Tower Theater, what a joy it was. We found Bend very walkable, with lovely parks and numerous choices of restaurants / bars. WHAT FUN! It was an eight hour drive from Bellingham, Washington but worth every minute. Do yourself a favor and visit Bend, at least once!
Brooks park is Amazing! It’s small but it’s location along the west banks of the centerpiece of Bend; Mirror Pond. This is a perfect place to enjoy lunch, sunbathe, or launch some personal watercraft to explore the river above the park. Immediately downriver from the park is a bridge and a spillway that splits the accessibility while on the water. AN UNDERUSED AND OVERLY FANTASTIC PLACE!!! MUST SEE!!!!
