The Metolius River is located on the east side of the Cascade Mountains and is a major tributary of the Deschutes River. The Metolius watershed is approximately 240,000 acres, of which 149,000 are on the Sisters Ranger District, and about 90,000 within the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. The proposed Wild and Scenic River corridor stretches 9435 acres from near the Metolius headwaters to Lake Billy Chinook (28.7 miles).
