Whether you prefer leisurely or nail-biting activities, Sunriver is the place to celebrate summer.
It’s a place to listen to great music at several venues, be inspired when visiting art galleries, enjoy time with family and friends, savor a great meal at one of the many restaurants, plan adventures to go kayaking, hiking or mountain biking or enjoy a game of golf or pickleball.
If you want to visit for the day, plan a bike ride on the 34-miles of paved paths, go for a swim at SHARC, shop at The Village at Sunriver and Sunriver Business Park and discover the wonders of nature at the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory.
If you are not sure where to go or where to start, contact the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce to find the answers. The chamber supports its members by making recommendations for restaurants, where to stay, activities and more!
