TUMALO, OR. A small unincorporated community located in Deschutes County, about seven miles northwest of Bend in Central Oregon. Nestled along U.S. Route 20, Tumalo offers a quiet, rural atmosphere while maintaining close proximity to the amenities and recreational opportunities of larger nearby cities. The area’s early history is closely tied to agriculture and irrigation projects in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In recent years, Tumalo has seen gradual residential and commercial development while still preserving its small-town charm. Local businesses, farm stands, and craft beverage makers contribute to a growing regional identity that blends rural tradition with modern Central Oregon culture.

One of Tumalo’s most popular natural attractions is Tumalo State Park, located just south of the community along the Deschutes River. The park is known for its riverside campgrounds, picnic areas, and scenic hiking trails. It serves as a convenient base for visitors exploring the wider Central Oregon region, including the Cascade Mountains, Smith Rock State Park, and the city of Bend. Outdoor recreation is a cornerstone of local life, with fishing, hiking, and river rafting all popular activities in and around Tumalo. The community remains a desirable location for those seeking a quieter lifestyle with easy access to outdoor activities and city amenities.

BEND, OR. A rapidly growing city in Central Oregon, known for its high quality of life and abundant outdoor recreation. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Bend is the largest city in Deschutes County and one of the fastest-growing communities in the Pacific Northwest. Its location on the eastern edge of the Cascade Range provides residents with stunning landscapes coupled with a distinctive blend of small-town charm. The city’s historic downtown area features local shops, art galleries, restaurants and a vibrant craft beer scene, with more than two dozen breweries operating within city limits.

Outdoor recreation is central to life in Bend. Residents have year-round access to activities like hiking, mountain biking, fishing, skiing, and paddleboarding. Mount Bachelor, located about 20 miles southwest of the city, is a popular destination for downhill and Nordic skiing, while the Deschutes River runs directly through town, offering opportunities for kayaking, rafting, and riverside parks. Nearby natural landmarks such as Smith Rock State Park, Tumalo Falls, and the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway make it easy for residents to explore the surrounding region. One of Bend’s economic cornerstones is its tourism and outdoor recreation sector, attracting visitors year-round.

In addition to its outdoor appeal, Bend has developed a reputation as a hub for entrepreneurship, remote work, and creative industries. Its high quality of life and access to outdoor amenities have drawn professionals and business owners in fields like technology, healthcare, product design, and tourism from larger West Coast cities such as Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco. Several coworking spaces, startup incubators, and business development programs — including EDCO (Economic Development for Central Oregon) — support the region’s growing entrepreneurial ecosystem.
