So you have a sailboat but aren't exactly sure where to set sail? The answer is easy when you make plans to visit the Fern Ridge Reservoir. This is a highly popular recreation spot for sailing in Lane County. When you do finally find yourself on the water, you'll be struck by the incredible view and many different species of waterfowl and other wildlife.

Get a truly dramatic glimpse of some of the area's wildlife when you visit the Cascades Raptor Center. This nature center and wildlife hospital not only offers you the chance to see some truly amazing creatures, but you'll also see how some of these various species are rehabilitated before being re-released into their natural habitat. Plus, you'll most definitely want to see the colorful (and musical) 33 species of birds that make their home at this attraction.

A brisk walk is one of the best forms of exercise, and for outdoor lovers, taking that gingerly stroll down the Amazon Trail in Eugene is a great way to spend some quality time enjoying the area's natural beauty. The trail is located next to Roosevelt Middle School and offers a 600-meter, 1,000-meter and 1-mile loop. Whatever length of the trail you choose to tackle, they are all in the convenient figure-eight shape which proves to be a moderate challenge and keeps the pace for your walk interesting, too.

When someone's trash winds up being someone else's treasure, you're sure to find such items in a place like Eugene's Nostalgia Collectibles. This truly one-of-a-kind place offers new, old and rare collectibles. Whether you're looking for a vintage poster, a classic comic book or other piece of the past, the excellent staff will guide you on your search for your hidden treasure that isn't as hidden as you might have thought when you find it at Nostalgia Collectibles.
