Middle Fork Path

fabulous trail

October, 2024 by rrhwgn74c8

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

Corvallis-Philomath Multi-Modal Path

more signage at beginning

August, 2024 by trishparks5

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.

Row River Trail

Scenic ride

October, 2023 by larry.ehl_tl

Very scenic and pleasant route. Benches in a number of places. Surface is good except for a few places with cracks that are bike-tire wide. They are marked with spray paint. Parking lots in town were a bit sketchy, I parked just outside of town at Row River Nature Park.
Wildwood Falls is about 1 1/2 miles past the trail's end. That's on a road; I encountered practically zero traffic, but in summer it could be a busier road.

Fern Ridge Path

unsafe and over run by homeless

August, 2023 by junkvanryzin

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.

Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System

Great trail

June, 2023 by mad4dixon

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!

Row River Trail

Great Trail

February, 2023 by vidmar

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!

Mill Race Path

great biking trail in our backyard

January, 2023 by ptros2125

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!

Petersen Park Path

Great Neighborhood Path

August, 2022 by markbond009

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.

Row River Trail

Trail is in desperate need of an upgrade.

June, 2022 by thomas60

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.

This is an easy walk and so peaceful. It's a must do and do again.
