Sunriver is a truly special place, thoughtfully designed to coexist with the natural beauty of Central Oregon, and at its heart is Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, where visitors are invited to connect with the natural world through the region’s wildlife, landscapes, and star-filled skies. Located where meadow, forest and stream converge, SNCO offers an inspiring gateway to explore nature and seek the stars above. The campus features eight acres of beautiful trails along Lake Aspen, interactive exhibits, and outstanding opportunities to observe and learn about the natural world. Birdlife is abundant year-round, including SNCO’s beloved Trumpeter Swans. Wildlife sightings may include otters, beavers, deer and elk, offering memorable moments in every season.
