The other reviews spoke of the homeless issues so I expected some, but our radar had to be on full for the first couple of miles. I recommend driving to the west end and riding east and turning around when your comfort level is exceeded. Also, the parking is much safer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We took our seven-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter on this trail recently. There are several places where you have to cross roads, but our kids are comfortable with this type of riding, so it felt safe. It's really nice that you can stop at parks along the way for a break. We had a great time.
Lovely paved trail spoiled by lots of homeless. Looks like the city is trying to keep the trash picked up but the this is all Graffiti spoils the ride.
Wonderful ride through the West Eugene Wetlands. Links up with other well established sidewalks and paths to make a longer ride. I love dedicated trails like this, wish they existed in every city.
Anytime I come across a couple of goats going for a walk, I just know I’m on the right trail! So many friendly people and some serious athleticism going on there, too. The path might be short but has some inclines that seem to produce a bit of perspiration. I loved the trail and will be back again. Hopefully see those sweet goats again!
