The Deschutes National Forest is one of the most popular forests in the Pacific Northwest because of the wide variety of recreational opportunities and other benefits it offers. Located in the high desert country of Central Oregon, the Forest attracts more than 7 million people every year for recreation, besides providing commodities ranging from timber to mushrooms.

Within the Forest there are five wilderness areas, six Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Metolius Conservation Area, the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area and the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.
