Last year some of us had a thought. There were already 4 types of caches to be found in this park. Why not add a few more? In the fall of 2020, I placed both a letterbox hybrid and a multi cache in the park. I got distracted with other things and I didn't finish writing them for publication. (Some of you already know I am a procrastinator.) Last week I stopped by and all was well with the containers, and decided it was about time to write them up and get them submitted for publication.
Here's a multi-cache for this park:
The stated coordinates will take you to a plaque related to the opening of Deschutes Falls Park. Gather the needed numbers from the plaque to get the coordinates for the location of the final container which is a pre-form.
The park was dedicated on Z (month) Y (date), 2017

Now that you know where you need to go, there are two ways to approach. First, just "plunge" straight to the final. For this, I recommend a walking stick. Second, take the main road to the given "trailhead" location, and head through a small group of trees to the final. The "trailhead" isn't exact - simply a recommended area to leave the main road. While this way is a bit longer, it is also easier. You might still like a walking stick.
