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.
Mountain bikers in Eugene seem to always find their way to the popular Goodman Trail. This loop involves climbing on gravel along Goodman Creek Road to the top of the trail and then descending on a single track that includes waterbars, rocks, switchbacks and some tricky downhill surfaces. The total traveling distance on this recreation trail is 7.9 miles.
Escape without having to go too far when you plan to spend a little romantic time together on a date at Hendricks Park. This is Eugene's oldest city park and it offers several natural amenities that will make your time together quite memorable. Over its sprawling 78 acres, the two of you will find a mature forest to marvel at, a highly-recognized rhododendron garden to admire, and several winding trails on which to stroll casually hand in hand.
Walk into Luckey's and you've set foot in one of Eugene's most historic places. This great bar offers a relaxed yet rustic charm while also having the distinction of being the oldest bar in all of Lane County. The time-honored tradition of offering an excellent place to unwind is still very much alive thanks to the excellent choices at the bar, the great bands that are often on stage here, and the great patrons as well as the nightlife venue's inviting club cigar store. So light up and get ready for a great night of fun at Luckey's.
