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.
The Willamette River runs through Eugene and is a proven source of fun, recreation and relaxation for all who spend time either on its shores or in its refreshing waters. Canoeing, rafting, swimming and fishing are just a few of the watersports activities that many visitors enjoy.
When you think about it, the history you sometimes find in your own back yard can be truly amazing. That element of surprise and discovery is what makes a visit to the Lane County Historical Society and Museum so much fun. This fascinating venue was established to collect, preserve and interpret the history of Lane County. It accomplishes its mission quite well through the use of various exhibits, presentations and children's educational programs.
