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!
What could be a really pretty destination along the Amazon Creek. The City of Eugene just repaved part of the path and cut back some overgrowth so creek, ducks and the creek are more visible. Other cities I lived along a bike path and it was great because there were restaurants to stop off looking over the path that have tapas, where you could listen to music, have a beer, and I think Eugene has the opportunity to make that happen off 11th (think 5th street public market / Friendly Garden style). It's also what people see when heading to the coast coming in from the coast. Hoping we keep taking care of the beautiful nature in area and also create some increased community involvement.
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 always in a great condition. A really beautiful ride through the parks and schools.
It’s such a wonderful ride, but it is ruined by the amount of homeless individuals giving you evil glares, garbage, paint, graffiti, overgrown vegetation, lumpy pavement, and a general feeling of uneasiness. The ride itself is so beautiful, but Eugene has not kept it up.
Its only 1.2 miles but its a very comfortable stroll or power walk. At its beginning "Monteith Park" is beautiful at any time of year. The Calapooia River drops into the Mighty Willamette at Monteith . From this walk you can see the backside of Albany. The trail is lined with lamp posts; its a very peaceful walk.
Was about a 7 mile ride round trip from Mosby creek trailhead to Dorena lake and back . It is completely paved but there were areas where a horse can comfortably walk on the grass next to the trail . Yummy apple trees adorn the trail side to compete with you for your horses attention . Rode down to the water carefully avoiding the wet spots (slippery mud) . Let the horses drink a bit from the rocky dry part . It was pretty neat to see the huge dam and lake . Only one boat was out becuase it was freakin hot and Smokey - but still beautiful . One of those trails that u wouldn’t necessarily seek out unless u live near it - but if u have to go to the neighborhood for some reason might as well saddle up ! There are a lot of bikes and most just zip by - with no understanding to be cautious of the horses . But that’s ok . It works !
Parking for this trail is convenient and free at the public lot on B and 2nd St. by the skate park. The trail is all paved, well traveled, mostly flat, and only has a few minor hills. You do have to cross some streets, but the trail is designated, cared for, and safe. There was a small homeless camp in the first field we passed, but no one bothered us. The park is pretty and there was even a beaver running around munching on grass, not bothered in the least by all the passers-by stopping to photograph it. The trail also goes through some pretty residential areas. The only bumpy part was near the park, where some of the roots of the bigger trees are buckling the asphalt. It was hot, but everyone was friendly (walkers, joggers, and cyclists alike), and everyone was courteous with the space. We will definitely take this ride again.
There is a slight downhill slope on the way towards campus so be aware if you're a newbie rollerskater.
Enjoyed this trail from beginning to end. Well maintained with beautiful views of wooded hillsides, covered bridges, old barns, river, flowers, farmland, and the lake. Stayed in Schwarz Park campground about MP 6 of the trail. Accessed the trail about 1/2 mile from campground. First day rode from camp to top end of trail around the lake and up through the farmlands. Second day from camp to town for coffee and baked goodies at the brewery. Afternoons spent exploring the wineries. Very much enjoyed this trail.
