be sure to ask the friendly Meadows staff to prepare box lunches for you and your family to enjoy during your Central Oregon

Lake. Located about two and a half hours away from Sunriver, even seasoned travelers gasp at the twenty-mile circle of
cliffs, tinted in subtle shades and fringed with hemlock, fir, and pine surrounding the lake of indescribable blue. At 1,943

Nature Center is an engaging place to get a little closer to the earth. Their staff of naturalists will keep your kids curiously
engaged and provide an exciting new perspective on the natural world.

of the best ways to explore the area is on two wheels. Stop by the Sunriver Bike Barn to rent bikes for the whole family! While

the lakeside fireplaces and roast a marshmallow for your very own s’more while you watch the sunset over the lake.
Day 6
MORNING Stop by Fort Funnigan and let the kids be kids! Whether it’s a day of outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, or
superhero moves on the climbing wall, Fort Funnigan offers the perfect environment for children to get their wiggles out.
Kids won’t run out of things to do with over 3400 square-feet of fenced play yards and programs that include field trips to
the Stables, Marina, Fish Hatchery and Nature Center. And when the weather doesn’t cooperate there are plenty of games,
activities, arts and crafts perfect for the great indoors. Parents can take advantage of the time by visiting Sage Springs Spa for
an unforgettable relaxation experience. With an array of spa treatments and massages available, it’s hard to know which one
to indulge in first.
AFTERNOON For an awe-inspiring display of nature, take a short drive to the Lava Cast Forest located just ten minutes east
of Sunriver. At the Lava Cast Forest, you will walk through lava flow which spilled through standing forests 6,000 years ago.
The trees became encased in stone when the lava cooled. What remained were “casts” of the trees, many of which go several
feet below surface level. Take in the surrounding landscape that includes molds of the trees as well as beautiful new plants
including wild flowers, bright Indian paintbrush, and Ponderosa pines.
EVENING Wrap up your day of exploration with dinner at Meadows at the Lodge. Chef Fabrice Beaudoin takes great care in
sourcing local, green and sustainable ingredients which shine through in his Northwest inspired cuisine. At Meadows, you
can indulge in imaginative and dazzling dishes perfectly complimented by a local microbrew or a glass of wine from our
collection that received the Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence. Throw in a view of the vast and beautiful Sunriver meadow,
outstretching Deschutes National Forest, and majestic Mt. Bachelor, and you have the perfect place to top off an amazing
week.
