Getting a glimpse of nature doesn't have to be just plants and trees. See it come to life when you visit the Silver Creek Landing. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and watch the wildlife that's located at the Silver Creek public boat ramp. A viewing platform is just a short walk away, and you'll be able to overlook the McKenzie River where you'll catch sight of osprey, waterfowl, beaver and deer, among other interesting species.
Breathing in Eugene's fresh clean air is always more refreshing when you do it at Alton Baker Park. This incredible park stretches out over 402 acres to make it the city's largest riverfront park. And it doesn't matter what season it is, as the park hosts various festivals, running and walking races and community events throughout the year. There's also an off-leash dog park, the Cuthbert Theatre, Pre's Trail and other attractions on the grounds, as well.
