Walk, bike or canoe along the...
Walk, bike or canoe along the Park area pathways of the McKensie River at Oregon State University. A good, half-day trip is to begin at Island Park in Springfield, walk West along the river paths to any of the bicycle bridges, cross over to see Eugene's compost and outdoors center, and Valley River Mall. Then, return to Island Park. The view of green vegetation and open areas bounded by rivers and hillsides which lead to Mountains makes this a special place. Walks through Dorris Ranch, a working nut farm and public park area with lots of wooded and rustic trails, are healing to the spirit.
