Ride along the beautiful Middle Fork Path (aka Clearwater path) next to the Willamette River. Nice River views with no city in sight, yet Springfield and Eugene are close by.(we ride from home in Southwest Eugene for a nice 20 mile RT) Riverbank Trail gets you close to Dorris Ranch trailhead or the Millrace ( new addition) trailhead
We parked at B and 2nd and it was a bit tricky figuring out how to get on the right trail to Philomath but finally got to it. Worse part is there is now a much bigger area in the field under the overpass that has a lot of homeless camp. No one bothered us They have marked the few bumps in the asphalt with white paint which was helpful. Would not do again.
Do not recommend this trail. Parking is a 50/59 shot if your car will be broken into. And the path is often blocked by homeless camps. Carry pepper spray or other protection if you must travel it.
We rode our recumbent trikes from Alton Baker park south, across the river and north to the last bridge and back to the park. We saw lots of juvenile Canada geese and several blue herons. Trail is easy and well maintained, lots of parks on both sides of the river with restroom access. The loop was about 13 miles and we rode two hours at a very leisurely pace with stops. Lovely day!
From the parking lot at the park in Cottage Grove to the "Stand By Me" covered bridge to Dorena Lake, this path is fantastic! Gentle uphill to Dorena Lake through the woods and wonderful views of the lake. 17-mile one-way of great riding!
This is a great bike trail that connects with the Dorris Ranch trail and the Middle Fork trail for a really nice loop! Lots of places for stops and quite a few restrooms. Lots of people on foot, so we have to share the path!
This little path is a great connector for this neighborhood. It runs along a gully and is completely paved. It almost feels like two different paths that meet in the middle at Petersen Barn Park. There is also an unpaved parallel on the opposite side of the gully heading east from the park.
We live just a few blocks from this trail in Monmouth. The community uses the trail especially in the early morning & evening in the summers for jogging & cycling. It’s wide, flat & traffic-free (even tho it runs along the Highway). There is a convenient bike repair station along the trail in front of the Monmouth Police Station. Just across the highway via a well-marked crosswalk is Gentle Woods Park (named after the Gentle family) with shade, grassy fields, a small playground & footbridge across the middle fork of Ash Creek.
There are many places where a bike tire could go right into a crack in the pavement, causing severe injuries. It would be wonderful if Rails to Trails could put some pressure on BLM to fix — rather than just mark — the many places in which repair is really needed.
This is one of the most beautiful bike trails around. It is a shame that the paved surface is in such terrible condition.

It’s a smooth path for the most part. It has a little bit of cracks and sometimes branches. There is a couple tents from the homeless at the beginning of the path, I’ve never had a problem so far but it’s a pretty good spot otherwise
