Drake Park — Attraction in Bend

Ok, so I just went there a couple of days ago, to go fly my drone, and holy cow, it was beautiful, the fall colored trees, and the still water, I'm going to go back to Drake park whenever I can, and see if I can capture some photos and footage with my drone. This place is awesome! The colors are amazing, especially in the morning when it's cold outside, and nobody's around. Anyone that stops into Drake park is in for a real treat, so I would recommend this spot to anyone, especially in the fall, colors are just amazing, it's such a great experience, especially In the morning, that's when anyone should go down there to admire the colors of the trees, and what's nice is, when you go down in the morning, there isn't dogs barking, people being crazy, all there is, is traffic, cars going by, people walking down the path, or no people. But anyway, I will tell you right now, Drake park is the place to go with someone for a romantic walk, that's for sure. I would say there is nothing better to do then to go to Drake park for a morning walk. I went down to Drake park one morning to take a photo, and the photo totally blew up my social media profile, so tip for professional photographers, go in the early morning, and wait for the right moment to take the perfect picture, anyone out there who's a professional photographer, and wants some fall photos, start at Drake park. I guarantee it, you'll be happy with...
