The Fall River is a tributary of the Deschutes River[6] in the Deschutes National Forest in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States.[4] The source is a spring approximately 2 miles (3 km) northwest of Pringle Falls. The river flows to the northeast and is about 12 miles (19 km) long.[5] Fly fishing is permitted.
There is a trail along the river, and also a campground about one mile downstream from the head of the river; a guard station at the head of the river can be rented.[7][8]
Fall River Falls is on the river within La Pine State Park.[9]
The Fall River also hosts the Fall River Hatchery, a state-run fish hatchery which raises rainbow trout, brook trout and cutthroat trout fingerling for stocking programs throughout the state.[10] The river has one named tributary, Indian Creek, which enters from the left above the hatchery.[11]
