Metolius River, Oregon 97734, USA

The Metolius River is a tributary of the Deschutes River in Central Oregon, United States, near the city of Sisters. The river flows north from springs near Black Butte, then turns sharply east, descending through a series of gorges before ending in the western end of the lake. The unincorporated community of Camp Sherman lies astride the southern end of the river. The name of the river comes from the Warm Springs or Sahaptin word mitula, meaning white salmon and referring to a light colored Chinook salmon and not a whitefish. The river's drainage basin is 315 square miles in area and, according to at least one estimate, contains 110 miles of perennial streams, 324 miles of intermittent streams, 42 lakes, and 121 ponds.
