This is a walk to see the sights, murals, and museums of Cottage Grove. Meet at south parking lot of Amazon Park in Eugene. We will carpool via 99 South to Cottage Grove and park in the Bohemia Park Lot in Cottage Grove. Restrooms are adjacent to the parking lot.

Our walk will be a big triangle. We will walk through Bohemia park to 6th where we can cross Hwy 99 at a croswalk. We will walk through neighborhoods to Tyler Street then cross over the Chambers Covered Railroad Bridge. We continue north on River Road visiting the Cottage Grove Farmhouse Bakery, the Swinging Bridge, and possibly visiting the Old Mill Farm Store. We will make a stop at the Cottage Grove Museum, then cross the Centennial Covered Bridge and walk along East Main Street to Kalapuya Books.

Plan on a having a late (mid-afternoon) lunch at the Coast Fork Brewing and Feed (6th and Washington).

We will cross Hwy 99 back at Main Street and over to the Bohemia Park parking area. If the adjacently located Bohemia Gold Mining Museum is open (308 S 10th Street) we will stop in for a few minutes.

Admission to the Cottage Grove Museum is free (opens at 1pm on Saturday). The Bohemia Mining Museum might have a small fee. Optional to visit, but bring a couple of dollars in the event they are open and there is an entry fee. Dress for the weather, and bring a snack if needed. Plan to return to Eugene at approx. 5pm.

Trip Report

The weather was a little cool and cloudy, but that did not deter our group from learning more about Cottage Grove. We enjoyed a swinging bridge, exploring local museums, seeing colorful murals, and eating some great local food. A special thanks to the volunteers at the Cottage Grove Museum for being so welcoming.
