We're heading to the Eugene area this week to explore year-round adventures on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River, and beyond. With Spring in full bloom, mild days and sublime evenings, this is the perfect time to grab your paddles and a picnic basket for a day jaunt. For those heartier recreationalists, gear up for several days in the ripples and nights on the shore. On the map this week:
  • Willamette Water Trail 
  • Elijah Bristow State Park 
  • Dexter Lake
  • Paddle Oregon

Willamette Water Trail 

   

217 miles of the Willamette River beacons paddlers, tent-campers and picnic lovers. The Willamette Water Trail flows through forests, meadows, parks, farms, and cities from as far north as St. Helens, through the rich Willamette Valley to the friendly little town of Creswell, south of Eugene. Managed by Willamette Riverkeeper as a water trail for paddlers, the Trail covers 187 miles of the mainstem Willamette River, and several miles of the river on the Coast Fork Willamette, Middle Fork Willamette, and the McKenzie River.
