You'll be able to experience an amazing 15,000 years of Oregon's cultural history as well as an equally stunning 200 million years of geology. Get ready, because the trip is a dramatic one, with adventure at nearly every turn.
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.
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.
