BPRD is kicking off the much-anticipated Miller’s Landing Park river access improvement project this November.

This upgrade—guided by our 2021 Access & Habitat Restoration Plan—aims to create safer, more accessible entry points for boaters and recreational users of all abilities and restore habitat. Expect a revamped boardwalk and improved northern access for swimming, wading and slower-current water recreation.

Funding for the construction of the Miller’s Landing project includes grant funds from the Bend Sustainability Fund, the Oregon State Marine Board Waterway Access Grant Program, Oregon’s Local Government Grant Program, and a donation from the Joseph & Elizabeth Hoffart Charitable Foundation.
