"Pride of Oregon"
Paddlewheel Boat
|
Camping, Hiking, Boating and More ..... The good old summertime ..... it's just around the corner. Escape to Oregon, Illinois and enjoy the natural wonders that surround us. Join the crowd on Tuesday evenings at Oregon Park West, bring your blanket and sit on the lawn and enjoy listening to a free outdoor concert. Stop at Lowden State Park to view the statue of Blackhawk up close, then journey down the 200+ steps to the Rock River below. Walk north on the path along the river and dip your feet in the cool waters of Ganymede Spring. Sign up for a cruise on the Pride of Oregon Paddlewheel Boat. More information on tickets is available at Maxson Riverside Restaurant. Like to camp? White Pines State Park offers camping, hiking, trout fishing in Pine Creek and great food at their main lodge. If roughing it isn't your thing, spend the night at the Patchwork Inn and sleep in the same room that Abraham Lincoln slept in. Of course, accomodations are much more comfortable today than when our former President visited! Fish and boat on the Rock River, go hiking at Lowden-Miller State Forest, climb up the steps at Castle Rock State Park and view the Rock River Valley the way the Indians saw it ......... opportunities to explore and enjoy the area are endless. Stop out and visit Oregon. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you! _________________________________________ Find Out More About Our Community And Area |
