    Do you have the urge to go fly fishing in a remote river? Camp Sherman is nestled into an isolated canyon in the Deschutes National Forest where the Deschutes and Metolius rivers flow together. In 1915, the Forest Service offered permits to construct cabins and today some 100 families live here full time.


    Planning a visit? Stay at Camp Sherman RV Park & Motel.


    Life in Camp Sherman revolves around the rustic Community Hall built by the residents in 1949, one of whom was Luther Metke, who felled local pines to cut the hand-hewn beams. Metke built more than 30 log houses and many bridges in the woods of Central Oregon. A documentary on his life was nominated for an Academy Award and the Governor of Oregon declared Luther Metke Day on his 100th birthday in 1985.

    OR-ThinkstockPhotos-506725101The Camp Sherman Store is where fishermen gather for local reports and gear. Sport fishing on the Metolius River is fly-fishing, catch-and-release only. The Wizard Falls Hatchery nearby has incubated salmon and trout in a park-like setting since 1947. The hatchery and its three million fish are open every day to the public. The Camp Sherman and Metolius Recreation Area offers hiking and biking in the shadow of 10,497-foot Mt. Jefferson and when the call of the city beckons Bend is 31 miles down the road.
