Past Activity
Riverfront Loop
-
Start date: 11/23/2024
-
Start time: 9:00 AM
Description:
We'll meet at the Campbell Center and head west on the south bank all the way to the Owosso Bridge, crossing over and heading back east along the north bank toward Knickerbocker bridge. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, and complete the loop heading west on the south bank back to the Campbell Center, for a total of 12 miles.
This riverfront hike is a wonderful remedy for cabin fever during that frustrating in-between season when the mountains are too stormy for hiking but not quite ready yet for showshoeing, and you want to stay close to home because you know you're going to get soaking wet wherever you go. Yes, it's probably going to rain, but so what?! We are Oregonians.
For an eloquent and inspiring meditation on this often taken-for-granted gem within our own city limits, see this: https://eugeneweekly.com/2014/04/03/a-walk-in-the-park/
There are several bridges along the way where we can shorten the loop by a few miles, if it stops being fun.
