Default Maupin are Deschutes water temp?

Where can i find the water temp in the Deschutes near Maupin? Some friends are talking about tubing down the river...but I think it might be a bit chilly for that. Thoughts?

I want to watch someone take an inner tube through Oak Springs ...

COLD - it's cold, OK? cold.

If you are going tubing stay out of the fishing water on the Deschutes and have great fun on the upper Clack near Fish Creek. It's great and just as dangerous. Meanwhile I'll be chucking bushy things with a hook around the other spare tire riders this weekend.

Should be in the mid-50's

I assume you mean inner tubing for fun not float tubing. I know guys do it but using float tubes on a river such as the Deschutes is extremely ill advised and unsafe. guys do it often but it is not safe and someday someone will die doing it. If your inner tubig for fun be sure to get out often with water temps in the 50's it is possible to become hypothermic. Also no matter what you are in do not forget to have a Deschutes river boaters pass.

Dont worry, I explained to my friend already that tubing the Deschutes was just a stupid idea. He is the guy who dumped his raft 2 times last year, much to the surprise of the 4-5 other people in the boat with him. Further, I explained that after 15 minutes in that water, it would take 4 1/2 weeks before his "manhood" re-emerged from the cold!! :shocked: :shocked:
