We have gone to fisherman's bend for years. We drove from Utah to Fishermen's Bend to one again feel the magical breathtaking beauty of this place. However we were very disappointed to see it this time. They had to cut a lot of the trees down, and it is a mess. No privacy in the campsites. The peace and beauty of this area are sadly not there. Maybe in 10 years it will be great again?
