SoDeCo Chapter: South Deschutes County
Founded in 2019, COTA proudly introduces our Southern Deschutes County Chapter, which is also our newest chapter!
Bringing together mountain bike enthusiasts from the La Pine, Sunriver, and the Three Rivers South communities, the new South Deschutes County Chapter will work locally to implement COTA’s mission to develop, protect and enhance the mountain biking experience in Central Oregon.
The South Deschutes County Chapter will immediately turn its attention to the Sunriver Trails project, a recently approved network of trails just west of Sunriver. The 10 miles of new trails, accessible from Sunriver over Cardinal Bridge and from Forest Road #41, will connect to the Wanoga and Cascade Lakes Welcome Station trail networks. The project also involves restoring and preserving nearby elk habitat.
The mission of the South Deschutes County Chapter will include providing volunteer maintenance support to local trails, as well the development of new mountain biking trails in the area. The Chapter will work with public lands agencies, such as the US Forest Service and the City of La Pine, to identify and support new mountain biking trail opportunities.
In addition, the Chapter will provide educational opportunities to the local mountain bike community, including training in trail construction and maintenance, and promoting appropriate mountain biking etiquette.

Our SoDeCo Chapter has been completing MANY new trail projects since their founding. Our newest trail is Royal Flush, which is a mile long jump trail for advanced riders. Currently, we're working on building a new technical rock trail called Chain Reaction.
