From my front door on NE Lotus Drive, adjacent to Pilot Butte, there s a paved bikeable foot path that tracks all the way to Reed Market Road, straight through the heart of the Larkspur neighborhood no stop lights and very few street crossings. Its two variations are known as Larkspur and Coyner Trails, however, I informally refer to the network as the Eastside Promenade (Prom). The Coyner Trail extends between Juniper Park and Ponderosa Park, describes Bend Park and Recreation District on its website. Paved and off-street, it gently rolls along the west of Bear Creek Elementary School from park to park. The Larkspur Trail, meanwhile, runs through the heart of east Bend, BPRD describes.
Proximity to shopping and awesome mountain vistas While some others squabble over coveted west-side neighborhoods, we ll let you in on a little secret: Some of the best views in all of Bend aren t found on the west side they re found in Boyd Acres, the northeast-most neighborhood in the city. Largely consisting of homes built within the past 20 years, many homes builders attempt to capitalize on the location by scoring that second-floor peekaboo of the Three Sisters, or even a clutch view of Mt. Jefferson to the northwest. Nicole Vulcan Just getting started on a mountain bike? Boyd Acres Rockridge Park has awesome skills trails for beginner and intermediate riders.
