LIFESTYLE Living in Central Oregon means embracing a lifestyle where outdoor adventure and small- town charm go hand in hand. The region is a playground for nature lovers. There are more than 600 miles of trails for hiking, biking, off- highway vehicles (OHVs), and horseback riding. Two major ski areas, Mt. Bachelor and Hoodoo, offer everything from downhill skiing to snowshoeing and Nordic trails. With over 30 golf courses, the area attracts both casual players and pros looking to tee off against a stunning mountain backdrop. Beyond the trails and slopes, Central Oregon is home to a thriving food and beverage scene. Bend alone boasts more than 30 craft breweries, alongside a growing number of distilleries and cideries. Restaurants reflect the area’s diversity, with options ranging from locally sourced fine dining to food trucks serving global flavors. The culinary culture is matched by a vibrant arts and entertainment scene. The Hayden Homes Amphitheater hosts major concerts throughout the summer. Local galleries, theaters and seasonal festivals add to the cultural richness of the region. Life here strikes a balance between outdoor activities and community engagement. You can spend your morning fly fishing or trail running, then head downtown for an art walk or a live show. The communities in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson counties are known for their friendly pace, innovative spirit and easy access to natural beauty. Whether you’re raising a family, growing a business or simply looking to make the most of each day, Central Oregon offers a lifestyle that is both active and deeply rewarding. “Central Oregon enjoys a truly collaborative environment. Everyone is not only supportive of each other, but excited to see one another grow. We share the same trails, rivers and slopes and ultimately share a similar vision to help the region succeed.” - Scott Allan, Interim CEO, Puffin Drinkwear
