One of many running paths in Eugene, sometimes called "Tracktown USA," this one is a 3.8-mile riverside loop in Alton Baker Park through a woodsy and scenic area.

Pre's Trail is named after the famed runner, Steve Prefontaine. It is such a great running trail which meanders through lush trees and it relatively flat. The wood chip trail is great on the knees and hips. Perfectly located between the University and Autzen Stadium and the Willamette Trails. A must for runners and others who enjoy a beautiful experienes.

Great hiking trail for all skill levels. Families would do well on this trail. I loved that the trail is close to the river, wide, and very little poison oak or mosquitos. Be sure allow lots of time and take a camera. My suggestion would be to go during a weekday if possible. The trail can get pretty busy during the weekends. A September hiking area after summer campers have left would be idea. If you don't mind crowds then combine your hike with a camping experience.

Miles of jogging and bicycle paths orginate in this popular urban park.

Amazing park: went for a 5-mile run with my buddy, it was amazing. You get your choice of trails: asphalt, soft redwook bark, or even riverside rugged. Plenty of space on the wide trails. Lots of variety. Looks like kayaking would be nice in the canals. A good looking frisbee golf course. Conveniently located to the Residence Inn across the street.

A six-mile bike trail along the Willamette River.
Reviewed By Expedition601587
Simply the best urban bikeway in Oregon and that is some pretty tough competition. Once the Riverwalk is done, both sides of the river will be connected with this path. Drops you right into downtown Eugene or all the way out to Doris Ranch.

A wonderful place to run, walk briskly, or just saunter. Then there are also the bicyclists. The jogging path has just been upgraded. There is also a smooth pavement path for walking, cycling, jogging.... It's a great place to unwind and relax while you exercise. Lots of trees, parkland, and the ever present Amazon Creek.
