Breweries and sporting goods stores. What do these have in common? There’s no shortage of them here in Bend. But unlike the purveyors of hop-filled heaven, sporting goods stores provide the equipment to keep our bodies and minds active and in shape, and they aren’t loaded with menacing carbs.

Whether you’re in the market for a sweet new full suspension mountain bike, powder sticks for the upcoming winter season, or maybe an Elliptical machine to stay in shape while you work from home- that’s on my list – you’ll conveniently find it in Bend.

For fun on the water, Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe and Stand on Liquid have all the boards, boats, and tubes you need for some epic playtime on our rivers and lakes. If wading into majestic waters hunting for trout is more your speed, swing by one of many fly shops in the area like Confluence, the Fly Fishers Place, and Fly and Field.

When the snow starts to fall gently or hopefully dumps feet, head to Powder House, WebSki, or Tactics Skate and Snowboard shop for the latest in skis, boards & rentals. Once the trails dry and hero-dirt takes over, stop by Pine Mountain Sports, Hutches, Project Bike, or Sunnyside Sports for all things bike related. If dumbbells, basketballs, and golf clubs under one roof is your jam, then Dicks Sporting Goods and Big 5 Sporting Goods offer a little bit of everything.

However you like to stay fit, get outside, or have some healthy recreational fun, there’s a sporting goods store in Bend, Oregon, that has everything to help you meet all your fitness goals.
