Enjoy some quality time beach-side when you visit the Alderwood State Wayside. This forested tract along Highway 36 west of Junction City is a beautiful slice of Oregon’s natural beauty. Enjoy a comfortable picnic area as well as a short trail that runs along the Long Tom River. This is a great place to bring the whole family for some great outdoor fun or just enjoy it yourself relaxing on a blanket with your favorite book.
Eugene's Laurel Hill Park Trail is a favorite of area runners and walkers. Located behind the Laurelwood Golf Course at the top of Agate Street is Laurel Park where this network of single-track recreation trails begins. The terrain is somewhat challenging in parts, but that intensity of the workout will prove highly beneficial for those running the trail.
There are classic events, and then there are classically classic events like the Oregon Bach Festival held the last part of June and into early July. Under the superb leadership of Helmuth Riling, the festival presents the choral and orchestral masterworks of Sebastian Bach. The event is held in Eugene at the University of Oregon's Beall Concert Hall and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts as well as other cities in Oregon.
