LaPine State Park

**Access & Launch Details**
Located approximately 4 miles into LaPine State Park near Three Rivers, this seasonal boat ramp provides hand-carry access to the Deschutes River. The ramp is currently in limited condition and is best suited for kayaks, canoes, and other paddle craft that can be carried to the water rather than launched via vehicle. Access roads are closed seasonally, so verify current conditions before visiting. For multi-day float trips, plan to shuttle between this launch and a downstream take-out point.

**Facilities & Camping**
Pringle Falls Campground is the primary camping option at this location, offering tent and RV sites on a first-come, first-served and reservable basis. Note that this is a no-water facility, so you'll need to bring your own water supply. Electric and water hookups are not available. Several other campgrounds operate within 10 miles, including Fall River and Wyeth Campgrounds. The park also features a picnic area with tables and grills (seasonal).

**Getting There**
From Bend, travel approximately 27 miles south on Highway 97, then 7 miles west on County Road 43. Watch for campground signs on the north side of the road. For current seasonal closures and conditions, contact the facility at 541-323-1746.
