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.

Reviewed By ShirleyG958 - Springfield, United States
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.

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.
9. Amazon Trail

Located south of Eugene, this trail offers an all-weather track.
Reviewed By Traveling_with_Hank - Eugene, United States
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.
