Runs through the city of Eugene, Oregon.

It's SO nice that this river isn't fenced-in, or over-developed on its banks in Eugene. Instead, there are walking trails, an endless bike system with countless bike and pedestrian-only bridges, wild riverbanks, gorgeous trails and islands and sunning rocks. Nature provides superb surprises here.

This is a great little park in the middle of the city. There are LOTS of birds including an Osprey nest that is quite difficult to miss on the right side of the trail coming down from the second parking lot (North). If you walk all the way to the very top of the trail (North) you will find a secluded board walk area (not sure what to call it) and if you take your camera or binoculars out you may get a glimpse of the osprey chicks that hatch this time of year. (May-June, into July). Other bird species include Canadian Geese as well as Wood Ducks, Mallard ducks (of course), Green Herons, Great Blue Herons, Killdeer, and Red Winged Blackbirds as well as many many more. See how many you can spot!

We did a dispersed camping trip at Waldo Lake in late July. We had been warned about the hordes of mosquitoes that attack visitors until late August/September, so we opted for the drier and windier northern shore (and took all precautions -- DEET, pretreated our clothes with Permethrin, had hat nets, etc.). Our campsite was on a little windy peninsula, so the mosquitoes weren't too bad. The second day, we kayaked to where the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette River starts and there were quite a few more mosquitoes (if only we had thought to bring our hat nets!). The water is breathtakingly beautiful -- so many different shades of blue and exceptionally clear. We will definitely be returning in years to come.

Lots of good parking, walking, areas to easily fish and lay on the lake bank to relax and soak up some rays. I enjoyed this lake in my childhood and now as an adult. I had an uncle who used to live on the lake when I was a child and we'd feed the ducks and geese of which there are still many. You can rent paddle boat and have a blast.
