From the meandering waters of the Deschutes River in downtown Bend, Oregon to the sweeping vistas from the Cascade Lakes, OAS offers kayaking and paddle boarding experiences for individuals of all ages and abilities throughout the summer. You can book a custom adventure or join us at one of our many community outings that involve adaptive paddling.

Paddling is a great sport for many individuals, and with OAS’ trained staff and volunteers we can accommodate your needs to provide for a great day on the water.
