I walk on the bike trail every day in a section where old gravel mines have been reshaped, flooded, and replanted to create small lakes and wetlands. The bird life is amazing. I have seen: bald eagles, great blue herons, cormorants, wood ducks, golden eyes, owls, teals, coots, mergansers, grebes, kingfishers, and common varieties of ducks and geese. The path... More

Beautiful views along the trail. Walked from river valley inn to downtown Eugene. Not a short walk but the hotel picked us up in the shuttle at the end of our walk. More

Eugene is a bike and pedestrian friendly city to begin with, but if you want to get off the streets, this path takes you along the river, through wild areas and forests. You can get through distant parts of the city, from the mall, to the downtown and courthouse, to campus and beyond, so it's very utilitarian. I imagine that... More

We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, long bike trail all along our Willamette River!

High quality, beginner trail with fun stops along the way. Highly reccommend. More

This paved bike trail loops a long section of the Willamette River in and near the heart of Eugene, on both sides of the river. Because of so many bike bridges spanning the river, you can select the length of ride you'd like. Biking alone, it's a peaceful getaway. With kids, it's a thrilling adventure. This what Eugene is all... More
