It’s not? How would you describe it, central Oregon? It is east of the cascades, hence eastern Oregon

Deschutes is Central Oregon according to Rivers.gov and Deschutes County

I live 20 minutes from where this photo was taken, we call it eastern Oregon. OP is welcome to do so, also.

I've lived in Central Oregon for 40 years and the only people that call Central Oregon "Eastern Oregon" are people that aren't from here. Valley folk seem to think that they are the center of everything, so naturally they feel like anything east of the Cascades is "Eastern Oregon". It's not.

Well, you’re wrong because I’m not from the valley. I live near this river. Always have.

Imagine gatekeeping a river Lmao

How am I limiting access to the Deschutes River? Since you live 20 minutes from this spot, next time you get gas ask the attendant how they like living in Eastern Oregon just to see their response.

You’re arguing semantics of a river bro, you said only people from the valley call it Eastern, like they aren’t worthy to know how to describe a location. I don’t need to ask a random local to describe where the deschutes is on a map, I have 31 years of experience knowing how it’s described. I fish on this river every summer.
