Spring has finally arrived in Central Oregon, and The Haven’s riverfront location is ideal for enjoying the sunshine or accessing nearby amenities. Check out these (mostly free) outdoor springtime activities for Haven members!
Lunch on the Deck
As the days get longer, try allowing yourself an extended lunch break. The Haven’s deck, overlooking the Deschutes River and Old Mill River Trail, is just the spot to do so. With outdoor furniture and an overhang for extra warm days, our deck is a great spot to enjoy your lunch.
If you need a last-minute lunch run, try takeout from one of the Old Mill District’s eateries or purchase a grab-and-go item from our fridge. All of our HydroFlask drinkware is permitted on the deck, and member Wi-Fi extends outside if you need to make it a lunch meeting.
Take a walk along the Deschutes River Trail
Have we mentioned that The Haven sits along the Deschutes River Trail just outside the Old Mill District? Well, in case you didn’t know, Haven members have direct access to the trail and river.
Sunny days are great for taking a stroll along the trail for some vitamin D and fresh air—a welcome break from staring into your computer screen. With multiple trail routes, you can take a five minute cruise or get your steps in by following a larger loop.
Take a Stretch Break
Instead of reaching for a midday cup of coffee, try naturally increasing your energy by getting your muscles moving and blood flowing. Stay up-to-date on The Haven’s events, as we often host yoga and other outdoor movement activities when the weather permits!
Member Happy Hour
Now that the weather’s warming up, we’re excited to move our popular monthly happy hour to the deck. Enjoy music, complimentary drinks, and overall good vibes when you join us for happy hour. Additionally, members can bring along a plus-one! Simply log in to your member portal or Haven app to RSVP to the next planned event.
Paddle the River
As we previously mentioned, one of The Haven’s best perks is its proximity to the Deschutes River. With our members-only inflatable Stand On Liquid paddleboards, it’s easy to take a screen break and experience the blue mind phenomenon—the notion that being in, on, or around water is therapeutic to our brains and the antidote to red mind, which stems from too much screen time.
After reserving your paddleboard and electric pump in the member portal, check out the equipment with the front desk. Later, you can rinse off and get back to work mode using our showers and towel service.
