Activities

Eugene is in Lane County which is centrally located in Oregon’s prosperous Willamette Valley. Lane County stretches west to east from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascades, Oregon’s volcanic mountains that splice the state from north to south. The US Forest Service is steward over nearly 50 percent of the land here, which translates to remarkable forests, clean flowing rivers, fishing, lakes, skiing, hiking, camping and more. From here you can be in the mountains or on the coast in less than 90 minutes.
