The Deschutes Paddle Trail is a collaborative project of public partners that are making access to the trail possible, donors and friends who contributed funding for the publication of this guide, and hundreds of volunteers whose dedication, energy, and hard work have made it a reality.  On behalf of paddlers of today and of the future, the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance thanks you all.
