Description:

Meet at: Corner of 42nd and Marcola Rd in the parking lot of the Weyerhauser Mckenzie Natural Area. From I-105 aka Hwy 126 take the 42nd street exit in Springfield (it is the exit past Mohawk Blvd.). Turn left on 42nd street. In about 1 mile the road ends and you will see the parking lot on your right. Look for the Willamalane sign.
This is a great winter hike. Much of the trail is through old growth forest and then finished along the creek itself.

Trip Report

It was a beautiful day in the forest with an enthusiastic group of hikers. Denise Bean was the official leader, and so many folks signed up that Kathie Carpenter was invited to step in as a leader of a second, socially distanced group. Thanks to Denise for ensuring that everyone who wanted to could go on this popular hike. Shotgun Creek is so close to Eugene that it makes a wonderful afternoon outing, rain or shine.
