Eugene

There's a lot to do in Oregon's second largest city.

Located along the Willamette River, Eugene has a dynamic mix of arts and culture, shopping and dining, entertainment and sports. With real adventures, real close, this is a one-stop shop for fun. After all, it's TrackTown USA, the home of the University of Oregon, a hotbed for craft breweries and a major destination for foodies, cyclists and counter-culture history buffs.

You can enjoy a hike at at Spencer Butte or explore the McKenzie River for water activities. If you want to experience some culture, visit the Hult Center for the Performing Arts and the Museum of Natural & Cultural History. For local shops and restaurants, you'll enjoy 5th Street Public Market for local shops and restaurants. For a truly unique experience, plan a visit to the Cascades Raptor Center or take a scenic drive to the beautiful covered bridges in the area.
