Cascade Lakes Highway Scenic Byway

Cross paths with early explorers and trappers such as Kit Carson, John C. Fremont and Nathaniel J. Wyeth as you drive the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway, accessible just 20 minutes from Sunriver. The towering Cascade Mountains provide the backdrop for this scenic drive and offer fabulous hiking and challenging rock climbing. Wind your way along the Byway as it climbs into the Deschutes National Forest and see for yourself why this route was named after the Cascade Lakes. This Byway's main feature is the numerous lakes that seem to spring from everywhere, but there are numerous other attractions for visitors to explore.

Both the pictures on this page were taken from areas along that highway, and we encourage you to check it out!
