Phil’s Trail was originally a game trail discovered in the mid-1980s by local surveyor and trail pioneer Phil Meglasson.

Central Oregon Local Buzz | Central Oregon Local Buzz April 24, 2026 | Drought Emergency, Red Light Cameras, and Local Music From the Editor Central Oregon Local Buzz delivers weekly local news and events in short, easy-to-read summaries. This week: Governor declares drought emergency across nine counties including Crook County, teens arrested for airsoft gun incidents at Old Mill District, a Madras man's killer receives 25-year sentence, the Bend Homegrown Festival brings 40 bands to town, red light cameras catch 350 violations in their first five days, and the Deschutes County Commissioners debate a homeless camp plan. 📰Local News Featured Governor Declares Drought Emergency in Crook County and Eight Others Oregon's Governor has officially declared a drought emergency in Crook County along with eight other counties across the state. This declaration marks a significant escalation in response to ongoing water shortage conditions affecting the region.
The drought emergency declaration gives state officials expanded authority to manage water resources and implement emergency measures. Counties included in this declaration face severe precipitation deficits and depleted water supplies that threaten agricultural operations, municipal water systems, and natural resources throughout the affected areas.
For Central Oregon residents, this means potential restrictions on water usage, increased costs for irrigation and household water, and possible impacts on outdoor activities and landscaping. Farmers and ranchers in Crook County should prepare for limitations on water allocation and may need to adjust planting schedules or livestock management practices accordingly.
The declaration underscores the critical water challenges facing Central Oregon as climate patterns continue to stress the region's water supply. Local communities and businesses should review their water conservation practices and stay informed about any upcoming restrictions or emergency measures from county officials.
