Description:

In conjunction with our speaker luncheon on October 21, The Deschutes Land Trust is offering this private tour/hike - 3 miles.  We have timed it so that those who would like to go on to Happy Hour, 4 pm, at Legends La Pine can head on over there after the hike.   

Paulina Creek Preserve is currently not open to the public, but can be visited on guided Land Trust tours or via hosted educational offerings. Preserve highlights include:  Paulina Creek and its wet meadows: The Preserve protects more than three miles of Paulina Creek, a ribbon of lush green in our high desert. Paulina Creek flows from Paulina Lake in Newberry Caldera rushing downhill through the National Volcanic Monument before spreading out in the meadows at Paulina Creek Preserve. The creek and its surrounding wetlands and meadows provide habitat for a wide range of fish and wildlife including rainbow and brown trout, eagles (bald and golden), migratory songbirds, deer and elk, Western monarch butterflies and other pollinators.

More than three miles of Paulina Creek runs through Paulina Creek Preserve
