The friendly, inviting locals of La Pine boast the city as a vibrant place to live, work, and play—where “Passion is Our Nature.” Visitors often remark how quickly they feel at home here. Top-notch public services and an extensive calendar of community events offer something for everyone, all year round.

Community Resources

The La Pine Public Library is an essential resource for youth and adults. A full schedule of classes and storytelling events make this an information and social hub of the community. The newly completed Little Deschutes Lodge Retirement Center, aside from pursuing the first LEED platinum certification east of the Cascades, is the nucleus of activities for the town’s senior population.

When it comes to outdoor activities, the La Pine State Park offers camping, hiking, skiing, bird watching, and more, in an exquisite subalpine forest setting. The La Pine Park and Recreation district provides youth and adult classes and workshops on topics ranging from conservation to woodworking. World-class hunting and fishing can be accessed within a few minutes’ drive of La Pine.
