Place is pretty cool. The walk around the inside of the rim is worth doing if you have time. Panorama views of the valley. Cell service with T-Mobile if you can see the town. Blazing hot most days but no bugs.

Great little trail. It's definitely worth the stop. Nit a hard hike and there are a ton of beautiful views.

Jake, the host, was super helpful with local knowledge. We ate lunch, enjoyed the shade in the pavilion, and marveled at the view. Nice that there are toilets and running water as well.

Aptly named fort-like rock formation. Absolutely worth a visit if you're traveling on OR-30 and for me it was worth the hour drive from Bend. I was the first one there in the morning and was immediately struck by how dead silent it was (maybe it was because there was no wind). I ended up walking the full interior path and inspecting some of the more interesting formations. Kids would love this place. There was ample parking and running water, but when I was there the men's room was pretty gross, but they are working on it, so I used the women's room, but there was also a portable toilet, so I can't complain. I'd love to come back here again.

Great spot, off the beaten path. Great short hikes into the center of an ancient volcano. Restrooms and covered shaded picnic tables. Plenty of parking available. The park host was very friendly and shared lots of information and history about the geology and park. The views are amazing from the center of the ancient volcano, you can see for hundreds of miles. If you are driving by stop in, only 6 miles from the main highway. Not crowded and a hidden Oregon gem.

A great place to see towering volcanic formations in an ancient lake bed in the high desert of Oregon. A loop trail will take you on an uneven rocky trail that is slightly steep in places for about a mile in each direction around the rim. You will find great views of the surrounding desert and mountains from the higher parts of the rim As you hike the rim, you might see a number of the birds that nest in the rocky formations that tower above you. It can be windy and cool as you hike around the rim. Ft. Rock does have picnic tables, a bathroom, a park host, and interpretive signs. Located about 36 mile from La Pine on a few country roads off of OR-31 S. A nice place to hike in the high desert around an ancient volcanic formation with great views of the surrounding desert and mountains.

Very cool natural area! The hike inside the fort was fairly short under a mile. We will go back to hike the rim, and explore more including the museum and the cave nearby. Definitely start early as in like 7am because at 10 it was so hot we got through the hike as fast as we could because there is absolutely no shade.

Cool quick stop

I drove up to Paulina Peak and now I'm set up for dispersed camping.

So much fun all the way around the you can fill a day up just visiting here!

Nice view.

So awesome!!!!

A beautiful spot. Quick and small though

Worth the time to pull off the highway and take in the scenic views of Three Sisters and Deschutes National Forest.

Such a great experience. The centers exhibit are well done and share a rich history of the region. The forest staff were helpful in guiding me to nearby waterfalls. And the bike trails are well maintained. And the shuttle up to the top of Black Butte offered incredible views.

Beautiful area and the Rangers are all so nice and knowledgeable about the area. There are lots of walking paths and educational opportunities. The visitors center had a nice gift store along with great exhibits of the area. We took the shuttle to the top of the Lava Butte, it was hot that day so it definitely was better than walking.

Really cool park. But unfortunately couldn't do the drive up to the mouth of the volcano. When we got there we asked the visitor center staff if the gate closed soon because we wanted to know if we needed to do it first, they said no so we did the walk first, but when we went to drive up the gate was shut. Still did the longer drive up to the obsidian rocks and lakes higher up, long drive but was pretty cool.

This is an awesome area to visit and won't take very much time. The visitors center has beautiful and informative exhibits and there are a few films that they will show you when requested. The trails are paved through the lava fields and are not too steep. Views along the way are fantastic and it is surprising how extensive the lava is.

The visitor center is nice, several workers their for assistance. Nice gift store, clean bathrooms. Paved walking path out into the lava flows. They offer a bus ride to the top of the cinder cone where there is a fire tower. Tickets for the bus are $5 each.

5$ ticket is not bad to go uphill and see the view. If you plan to visit this place You just need 40 to 50 minutes. If you take a trail it’s 1 mile walk. But for Lava River Cave you need to book in advance otherwise you will waste your time if not planned in advance.

The park ranger was very knowledgeable and explained the area and volcanic activity easily. Great view the shuttle $5/person totally worth it!!!

The walk from the parking lot is very easy and flat. The trail is wide and gravel so you don't have to worry about where you walk and you can move quite quickly. The word "falls" is used very loosely here because this is not a waterfall at all and is merely a small patch of rapids on a river. In my opinion it is not worth the stop if you are in the area and have limited time.

A beautiful waterfall that’s easy to reach from the parking area, making it a great stop for a quick nature escape. The scenery is stunning and well worth the visit. However, the road leading in is rough and unpaved, so be prepared for a bumpy ride.

Super pretty spot. There is a lot of options here to hang out by the river, bike, hike from the visitor center. The bird watching was great. I love seeing the cedar waxwings.

Nice rolling rapids. Didn’t see “falls”. Nice paved walkway and parking area.

Beautiful falls. A short walk down to the landing. The falls is about a 3 mile drive up a dirt road

Hiking this trail was a great experience for my whole family. The path is for all levels of walkers and hikers. You can stay on the easy path all the way there, and when you get to the falls, they do have steps built into the hill. But if that's too difficult, you can take the path that goes back and forth, for a much easier way. The falls are so beautiful, with a few good viewpoints. Just don't forget your bug spray, as we all got eaten alive

Don't expect huge falls or anything big...its more like rapids. But its a nice walk/hike for beginners or you could choose a different path which is strenuous hike. Cool breeze from water while you stare at whitewater keeps flowing down the Deschutes River.

Plenty of trails through the lava flows. Beautiful view from the Butte.

This was a very fun experience. The staff were very knowledgeable and while there was a large group, there were plenty of telescopes so the wait to see some amazing Celestial characters was never very long. So interesting and informative. Well worth staying up late for.

Excellent evening with the staff and volunteers! Amazed by what we saw and by the enthusiasm and knowledge of the folks there. Thanks for an awesome experience.

We paid for the night time viewing experience and I must say I do not think that was worth the $33 a ticket! Was neat seeing a few stars through the telescopes and I appreciate the effort put in by the presenter however I expected SO MUCH MORE! The employees were super friendly. Was so hard to keep track of my kids and family at night so that made me super nervous too. At $33 per person you need to up your game… Unfortunately I have zero photos to show cause it’s night time viewing of course but maybe add in a Photo Booth? Have an activity and a free souvenir? I really wish we would have spent the money to attend a day time event instead….

Go out in the parking lot and look up at the night sky - it’s a better experience than looking at random individual stars through telescopes not big enough to resolve details on the stars they are aimed at. 2 stars instead of 1 because I extend a good faith assumption that if there happens to be a planet visible during your time slot it’s something worth seeing - even then you’ll likely be standing in line for a long time for a short view of an isolated object. But if there are no planets out when you come, the telescopes are just aimed at random stars, or maybe they’ve been knocked off by other viewers and they’re aimed at nothing - you probably won’t be able to tell. A lot of milling around in the dark, waiting in line to see views bettered in the parking lot. Check to see if the sky is clear and there will be planets before coming. The short lecture at the beginning is moderately interesting (make sure you aren’t last in line checking in or it will start without you) and the grounds itself is beautiful at dusk - there’s a pond with resident swans. I would walk around the pond rather than doing the night program.

Very cool place that was worth the trip. Expert help answered questions and gave great kid friendly demos of telescopes. Lots of stuff to learn and a great facility for the hands on experience. Full family fun for kids of any age. Dress warm and expect to stay up late.

It’s closed on 4th of July. Good place to visit.

We had a beautiful day golfing at Quail Run today. The course is in beautiful shape and staff was super friendly. Melissa and the gals in the club house made our lunch and it was delicious.

Played this course for the first time this past week and it was a wonderful experience. The owner was working the counter and was very helpful and welcoming. The marshal was very good about checking in and maintaining good flow while being friendly and polite. the course conditions were great. I will really try to play again when in the area. As a business owner it was refreshing to see the owner working with customers and i feel that is a great way to maintain a good connection with the public.

Quail Run was playing great today. They have nice practice facilities with a driving range, chipping green and putting green. They also have options for riding carts or electric bikes. We were really happy with how green the entire course was. The fairways were rolling nicely and the greens were in good shape. Fair prices too.

I really enjoy this course. We have played here three times now when we are traveling through. The service has always been great, very friendly. The course is beautiful. The grass range is nice too!

Beautiful course and a great crew running it. Clean tee boxes and excellent greens. Worth every dollar and the pro shop was also a bright spot. Awesome bloody Marys! Enjoy the 18 holes and relaxing setting.

My daughter and I came out to play on Father's Day and I have to say that it was one of my favorite courses in Central Oregon. The course is in fantastic shape, the pace of play was great and you can tell that's thanks to their marshal. I wouldn't leave here without having a hot dog from the snack bar . It's easy to see why this course is so popular. The only downfall of the day was how my daughter outdrove me so many times!

Outstanding course, outstanding staff in pro shop, on course, and at cafe. I saw a complaint from some doofus and wanted to set the record straight. Been there many times - never seen the staff treat anyone with anything but respect and welcome, but I am sure that some people cannot be satisfied. In looking at some past reviews, I have to laugh at people who create expectations for a busy golf course to accommodate their group of beginners and react poorly at being asked to keep up - a course with 100 people on it and more hoping to start requires a march and cadence of movement - if you don’t keep up, everyone suffers and no one leaves satisfied. And complaints come from golfers, calling the pro shop or asking the marshal to get others moving. Learn to play at a smaller, easier course, move along and be welcomed. In the meantime, Quail Run serves many satisfied customers each day, and I’ve been one of them every day I’ve played there.

We stayed a week, which was about a month too little. The last few days were raining, which wasn't the parks fault. Very quiet as it is about 5 miles from the highway. Don't expect very good cell service here. Starlink worked great. Many trails and a beautiful river. A huge list of things to do and see in the area. We will be coming back for more. Expect visits from tiny ground squirrels and even smaller chipmunks. They are high energy and entertaining. We had visits from Stellar Jays (a type of blue bird).

Good campground, clean and well kept. It is popular and can get very crowded. Bathrooms and showers can get a bit competitive. If you are going for peace and quiet, think this one through. There are a ton of kids on bikes, scooters etc...it is an awesome place for kids so it makes sense, but it is loud during the day. If you have kids, this place is fantastic. The river, playgrounds, trails...it has it all.

For camping, it all depends on the loop and space you choose. It is a well kept park with several trails and a lot of thieving chip turds (California golden mantled ground squirrels). We come here as often as we can. Do expect huge temperature swings if you camp here.

Pretty forested state park and campground. You can visit the world's largest Ponderosa Pine Tree and several places to view, play in, or launch kayaks into the Deschutes River. Campground spaces have hookups. There are also standard and deluxe cabins.

Stayed in a cabin in the South Loop and it was magical. Lots of hiking, biking if you are into that and beautiful views of the river and Ponderosa pines. It was quiet and camp sites were well spaced. Park rangers were very nice and firewood and ice were easy and self-service (easiest to use cash, but credit possible.) Cabin had heat, 2 queen beds and small dining table with 4 chairs and a tiny desk and electric outlets. Outside a small porch with bench and picnic table, bbq and fire pit. Showers were warm and bathrooms clean. Close to lava sites like Obsidian Flow, Paulina Peak, Lava Cast Forest and Newberry National Volcanic Monument. Pay attention to weather and temps as it is high desert. So June can be cold. Also, look up what passes you may need for the sites you want to visit. Definitely coming back.

Nice campground sites are not too close together , however with the recent cleanup and trimming of trees they've done, there is not much to interrupt the view between sites if your looking for privacy. we would stay here again.

Beautiful park. I called the reservation number a few hours before arriving and got a spot. There were several available. Level (for the most part) spaces with full hook-ups. Very quiet. Lots of friendly folks...campers and staff. Extremely limited cell service (T-Mobile). Paid $45 for the night.

Somewhat easy hike to Tumalo Falls itself and then up to Double Falls. We enjoyed the scenery, and you can go down to Tumalo Creek to wade in places.

A great place to go! Road: the last two miles are gravel and dust. Any car or truck should be able to make this and need to be washed later. Parking: the first thing you’ll is a small overflow lot. This is where one pays a park fee of $5. Tap your credit card and out pops a pass. You can park here and walk a 1/2 mile to the trailhead. Or you can keep driving to find a parking spot along the road or at the small main lot at the entrance. We were there on a busy Sunday and found parking on the road. Falls: walk along the path for great viewpoints. If you go beyond the top of the falls, there are places for water access. Restroom: Yes. Nothing amazing but better than none at all.

This was an amazing opportunity to visit the falls! The weather was perfect and it was not that busy at all. The road does get a little bumpy but it was well worth the short drive from Bend! I could just stay there for hours you will get lost in the peace and quiet with the flowing water....amazing!

Nice hike. Elevation gain was steady. Beautiful views. Nice overlooks parking limited. Vault toilets. Main trail dogs are allowed. Side trails, no dogs.

Absolutely amazing. The walk up to the viewpoint is steep but manageable. Nice easy trip from Bend. The last couple miles is a little bumpy but easy for even a car.

Great, scenic, pictuesque out and back hike. Several waterfalls if you follow the tumalo creek trail. Easy, uphill hike.

Our first visit to the fall. I don’t believe I ever been here before even when I lived here in the 70s. It was a nice cool day and very light crowds. Yes there is a nice gravel portion of the road. Make sure you have decent ground clearance coming in. There’s some nice creators in the road.

First time visiting Mt. Bachelor. Did not ski - yet still had the time of my life. Such a fun gondola ride up the mountain. Other activities included zip lining (sadly, did not get the chance to experience such a great ride) Staff was so helpful and friendly. The gift shops were well organized, of course staying busy yet still able to be in and out! Would love to come back for more fun activities

What a FUN time. The staff is very nice, easy going, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely safety conscious. The views are spectacular and the ride itself is a load of fun. Your ticket allows you to ride the lift up again after your zip line so you can go back up, explore, hike, or enjoy the vista. Highly recommend this mini adventure.

Awesome ski resort. Great snow quality. We did spring skiing and throughout the day were switching lifts and runs to escape melted snow:) Great choice for kids as well! The only thing...I would love to see more healthy food options in lodges. Pizza, burgers and fries...So people usually bring some food with them and there is a whole level in the Lodge to enjoy it ( there is a microwave as well).

The zipline is a MUST!! The only downside was the address link in my email confirmation took me to the wrong address about 25 miles away and almost made me late for the experience. Barely made it! My friend and I went together for my birthday and it was THRILLING in the best way!! Staff were all fun, upbeat, and very knowledge. I would definitely recommend a go-pro or some way to safely secure your phone on you to record the experience, otherwise any items must stay in zippered pockets or in cubbies on the ground. FANTASTIC views!! Just absolutely stunning.

Everybody knows that you can downhill ski at Mount Bachelor but recently I had the opportunity to try downhill mountain biking and what a great time that was! I’ve been living in Bend Oregon for 30+ years and over the last three years started mountain biking but I had never had the courage or opportunity to try the downhill. I was totally impressed with the amount of design built into all of the trails and it wasn’t just for high-level downhill experience, there were also more lower level trails which is where I started and worked my way up. It doesn’t take very many runs to feel like you’re exhausted. It’s a lot more physical than what I’ve ever realised so I ended up enjoying a nice lunch at the restaurant while the other guys that I were with With had a few more runs. what a beautiful day here’s a photo.

Summer lift-access biking here is incredible. The blue flow trails are long and enjoyable, the black tech is gnarly, and Redline is probably the best jump line for an intermediary rider.

This may be the most impressive ski resort that I've ever driven up to. The mountain is massive. While it looks imposing from the drive, Mt Bachelor is Heaven for intermediate skiers. It has tons of open bowl skiing paired with lots of wide low angle glades. We skied here during spring conditions, but I can imagine this place being amazing during a big storm.

Camped at Sparks Lake in early August. Bit of a rough road getting in, but do-able. We turned into the first campsite we found on the right. Mid 40s at night and nice and warm during the day. We were on a little point and caught a nice breeze esp in the afternoons. Mosquitos were only a problem in the woods and when the wind died down, and even then they weren't that bad. Really a beautiful spot!

Absolutely gorgeous lake at the end of one of the most bumpiest roads I've ever been on. The lake itself is so peaceful and the views of the mountains are incredible. I didn't float out far but the water was insanely clear as far as I could see. Definitely recommend checking it out if you have a car that sits higher. OH! And don't forget your bug spray, the bugs are brutal if you don't have it handy.

It was love at first sight! Due to a really rough access road, it was not even close to as crowded as touristy Elk Lake was. It's quiet and peaceful here. There's a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains and really cool rock formations. I went during the fires, so it got extremely smokey in the afternoon, but it was decently clear in the morning. The lake was almost all only a foot or two deep, and I dragged bottom a couple of times. But there's a lot of lake area now covered with beautiful flowers because it's so shallow. This was my favorite of all the lakes!

The road getting in definitely needs repair so be prepared for that. The lake is quite shallow, and anything deeper is going to be to the south. Beautiful Mountain View’s.

A very nice lake, especially at sunrise, I recommend taking nothing smaller than a suv because our car scraped a few times but it was well worth it driving back in for sunrise, even if there wasn't any clouds in the sky. It was about 32°F so the steam over the water was amazing. The restrooms were horrible. I highly recommend this lake to landscape photographers, especially at sunrise because all you have to do is drive to the day use area and you have thr perfect view at the lake side right by you.

Absolutely beautiful place. I’m sure it’s great during the spring and summer too but the frozen lake and the scenery around it during the late fall and winter is just stunning. Definitely need a 4x4 to access this lake unless you want to hike all the way in from the main road.

Hosmer lake is so beautiful! If you kayak all the way to the end you can sit and eat lunch by a small waterfall. The water is so clear that you can see fish swimming underneath you and the views of the mountains are beyond stunning. I recommend going early; we usually get there around 6:30am so we can have the lake mostly to ourselves, as the lake and parking lot can get quite crowded later in the day. Also, make sure you have a recreation pass as they are required.

This was our first visit,but it won't be our last! We had such a great time kayaking. We were out almost 3 hours. Everyone on the lake was so pleasant. So fun to see everyone enjoying the day!

This is a beautiful summertime lake to visit. I love to stand up paddleboard there. Parking can be kind of difficult so maybe go early or late in the day to find a an easy spot.

Parking can be tight but a beautiful lake - worth the drive!

Been here in October 2021 for the 1st time! Absolutely beautiful and peaceful place! The aerial views with drone was even more surrealistic! All attached pictures are captured by me! Hope you enjoy them!:)

Been paddling and camping here since I was knee-high to a tadpole. Some of my first memories are from this beautiful lake! Friendly people, calm water, plenty of fish.

Very fun lake. Nice and easy to explore as a novice in a watercraft. Our mode of choice was a tandem kayak. Very varied and dynamic scenery the farther out you go.

I had a great time camping here with my dog. However, be advised that an enormous area on the North and West side of the lake was incinerated in a wildfire a few years ago. We hiked the trail and there is still some beauty to be found. The best part is the peaceful paddling. No gas engine craft are allowed!

Waldo Lake is a sandy bottom turquoise lake where no Motor boats are allowed! Kayaking is fabulous !! Depending on the month, mosquitoes are prevalent!

The views are great as well as the trails. Host was fantastic and the vault toilets were very clean and smelt good. Please note the website is not lieing about mosquitoes but we were prepared. We will be back

Waldo Lake is a natural alpine lake in the Cascade Mountains of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the second largest natural non-alkali lake in Oregon with just under 10 square miles of water surface and a maximum depth of 420 feet. Thick forests, hiking, mountain biking, camping, swimming and boating. Waldo Lake is a recreation gem of the Cascades (besides the hordes of mosquitoes in early summer). Waldo Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Oregon. Lying high on the western slopes of the Oregon Cascades, Waldo Lake is one of the largest natural lakes in Oregon and one of the purest lakes in the world. It has no permanent inlet to bring nutrients into the lake for plant growth. The lack of plant life contributes to its purity. You can see to depths of 120 feet on a calm day. It offers a uniquely peaceful setting on the water and along remote shorelines, surrounded by forests of Douglas fir and Western Hemlock. Recreation in the area is abundant with the lake an ideal location for water activities like sailing, canoeing and swimming.

I really enjoyed Waldo lake! The hikes they have around this lake were beautiful! Highly recommend. And most of them are easy just wear good shoes!

If it weren't for all the bugs (mosquitoes, bees, and flies) this would be my favorite place on Earth. The bugs are pretty aggressive, but other than that it's beautiful. If you can, try to camp up here along the lake, and go for a night kayak paddle under the stars 💖💖

Waldo Lake is a natural alpine lake in the Cascade Mountains of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the second largest natural non-alkali lake in Oregon with just under 10 square miles (26 km2) of water surface and a maximum depth of 420 feet (130 m). The lake is named after Oregon politician, judge, and conservationist John B. Waldo.

Great getaway in a remote, idyllic setting. Some of the structures are newer, others a little more rustic, but if you want to get off the grid, this is the spot. The staff works hard to keep folks happy, and there is a good sports bar and outdoor patio on the lower level of the lodge. The menu has improved dramatically since my last visit - would return.

Beautiful location on the lake. Our cabin was great also. Very clean. The hotel is in the national forest so a lot of restrictions on how and when they can paint so starting to look a bit old. It’s like 15 minutes from the crate lake NP entrance so one of the closest resorts. Will go again

Great old resort, over 100 years old! My brothers, sister in law, and I stop here every year during our annual camping trip. The foods yummy and the service is outstanding. They also have dog friendly seating outside. You can rent boats here too if you'd like to spend the day on the water, lots of fun.

This place is absolutely horrible. I read reviews where people call it ‘rustic’. It’s actually dilapidated. Grossest, dirtiest motel experience of my life, and I am over 50. Opened the door to our hotel room, and immediately see dirt and tracked in debris on the floor and carpet. Bed looked like it was made then sat or laid upon. Went into the bathroom and there was a gross wad of hair in the shower drain. The refrigerator was dirty, like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks or even longer. There was a layer of dust on literally everything. The table, lamps, coffee maker, a/c, everywhere. We stayed three nights and NEVER had any maid service. If I am going to pay over $150 per night for a hotel room, I expect it to be clean. We only stayed because they have a ‘no refund’ policy unless you cancel 10 days ahead. We never ate at the restaurant, because if the room was that dirty I didn’t trust the restaurant. You couldn’t pay me to stay here again. And I will warn my friends as well. Just plain gross!

Went here for our 20th anniversary and had such an AMAZING GREAT EXPERIENCE! we stayed in the hotel suite and it was clean and nice and everyone working here are very chill and great. We stayed 4 days and it wasn't enough, will def be planning yearly trips here. We rented a boat for a day, took our ebikes on the 11 Mile paved bike path and fished and hiked. Had such a wonderful time, can't wait to go back! Cannot recommend this place enough. Nice quiet relaxing place. They have a store and restaurant and bar and also have guided horse rides right down the road. Great for biking, hiking and atv riding, everything was reasonably priced

We stayed in a cabin along the water. The location was amazing- close to Crater Lake, and Diamond Lake was beautiful with excellent hikes and bike riding. The cabin was very tired. The screens had holes in them (which meant mosquitoes inside). There was no AC but we didn’t need it as it was still cool in the end of June. Too cool to go in the lake but great weather for fishing, paddle boats etc. We had thunderstorms 2/3 of the evenings. No WI-FI. We did NOT think it was a good value for the price.

We stayed 2 nights at the resort while visiting Crater Lake. There are not a lot of lodging options in the area, and compare to the lodge at Crater, this is a "value." The cabin was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath very close to the lake - which was great. The beer garden was nice, and we did not utilize the restaurant. The cabin is that - a cabin. Not glamorous, but basic. No AC, which was not needed in July, and somewhat rustic - basically a place to lay your head and rest from hiking the lake. There are wonderful views of Bailey and Thielsen from the property, and Diamond lake was nice to cool down in the heat of the day. The cost of the cabin was high for the value - but again, there aren't many lodging options in the area, so I'd stay again.

I took my niece visiting from Utah, the drive there was so beautiful. The trail and park were clean, the waterfall did not disappoint. We did continue to hike Diamond Creek falls after that. We were supposed to pay for parking but payment machines were not working so we didn’t have to pay. We liked that The trail to Diamond falls was marked by blue diamond shaped medal nailed to the trees We did pack a lunch to eat on our hike. Lots of mosquitoes.

Unbelievable waterfall. You can visit it from the top or walk down an easy hike to about midway. Simple to get to park your car and walk about five minutes. Would I go back? Absolutely. I highly recommend anyone stop and visit this place.

Beautiful short hike to see this waterfall. You can view it from the top or you can hike down to see it up close. The decent down is pretty easy, path is clean and clear from vegetation and there is a rail you can hold. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash. There are no toilets at the trailhead parking lot, but there’s a restroom about 1/4 mile away with clear signs. Parking is plentiful in the morning but fills up fast by noon. There’s a $5.00 fee to park, and a working pass machine is on-site and easy to use. If you have time consider hiking to Diamond Falls, it’s absolutely stunning and overall the entire loop with both waterfalls is about 4.5 miles. this was a fantastic day hike with great scenery, cool forest paths, and gorgeous waterfalls. Highly recommend!

Stunning waterfall, canyon and views. Easy walk through the forest to enjoy the viewpoint. I also appreciated the sturdy fences and safety rails at the site, and the educational signage near the parking lot. Well worth a stop and the $5 day use fee to visit this beautiful natural wonder of Oregon.

Salt Creek Falls is absolutely stunning! At 286 feet, it’s one of the tallest waterfalls in Oregon and so easy to access—just a short walk from the parking lot to the main viewing platform. The upper viewpoint is ADA-friendly and offers a breathtaking look straight at the falls, while the trail down to the lower viewpoint gives you a closer, more powerful perspective (a bit steep but worth it!).

Striking falls, nice hike. I imagine it will be spectacular in May when the rhododendrons that abound in this forest are blooming

Breathtaking falls you can view steps from the parking lot. This is a must-see stop on the scenic Highway 58 drive.

This is my FAVORITE Hot Springs so far in the PNW. The hike is easy & there are 4 separate pools with different temperatures & a small “cold plunge” area. BRING BACK THE BUCKET! I was shocked at the increase in price to $12 per person unless under 12 (free) but it’s worth it so it doesn’t turn into Bagby.

Loved it , loved it !!!!! Super kool place ... heads up !! Thursdays they don't open it untill 12pm !! The trail isn't hard , the seating/ changing area is adequate and rustic looking and the different temp pools makes it nice ..

$12 fee, open sunrise to sunset. Clothing optional. There are toilets at the trailhead where you pay the person and at the hot springs. On a Sunday morning I was the first one in the parking lot but was soon in the company of about 20 other people by 8am. No cell service

Good natural hot springs! You need to pay a day use fee at the beginning of the trail, $12 per person. A short 10 minutes hike will bring you to the springs. There are WCs there and small roof covered space where you can leave your belongings in case it would be raining. Overall it is very enjoyable place, but it can be crowded sometimes. I don't show the springs on my photos because some people prefer to take bathing naked

My first hot spring ever in Oregon! I’ve been wanting to visit a hot spring, and this one sure didn’t disappoint! It’s about a 1/4 mile walk/hike to the springs, but it’s easy enough if you take it easy and don’t mind heights or a small trail. The pay station was broken, so lucky enough we found a host to give our money to! There are 4 different springs, ranging from too hot to lukewarm. The best one was the second hottest. Enjoy and be kind to each other! 🌊🗻💜💦 🫧

$12 per person to enter. You park on the edge of road in front of their little booth. The guys who work it are nice and friendly, and they explain the rules clearly. No drugs, no alcohol, no obscene behavior (yall know what im talking about). The hot springs is nude optional, so be warned if you bring your kids. Anyways, the hot springs themselves are cool. About 4 pools each at varying temperatures. The highest one being the hottest and the lower you go the cooler. I did notice that the bottom 2 in particular were quite murky and mossy. To be expected in nature but not really my taste. Would I come back? Ehh, I don’t really think so. Unless I had the springs to myself or sharing it with a handful of people but the springs get crowded a bit.

Good place, I have never before experienced hot springs and it was cool! there are 4 springs and each has a different temperature. In the highest, the water is the hottest, and in the lowest, it is colder. It takes 15 minutes to get there from the parking lot. you have to be prepared that people can be completely naked.

Great natural hot springs. Trail needs some maintenance, and the bathroom needs serious help. We went when the road was closed and hiked through the snow, so maybe that is why the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned to say the least. You get all types here from fools throwing trash in the hot springs to those cleaning up. Top pool is the hottest. Gorgeous view of the river and forest while soaking.

Amazing experience! I visited in July 2025 on a Wednesday. Not too many people. Parking $5 -cash. They have one restroom in the parking lot. About a 10 minute hike to the hot springs from the parking lot. The hike up was short but moderate level. Heads up! There were a few naked humans walking around.

Still absolutely love this hot spring… it’s a magical and beautiful spot but over the past five years or so, it’s definitely seen a big spike in tourism. Sadly, with that has come more trash and less care for the land. If you’re someone who craves a peaceful, untouched connection with nature, this may no longer be the ideal place, as it’s often crowded and not everyone is respectful. Your best bet is arriving before sunrise if you’re hoping for solitude. And just a heads up for families: like many Oregon hot springs, clothing is optional here. If nudity makes you or your little ones uncomfortable, this might not be the experience for you. If the gate is closed, it’s a flat 2 mile hike to the Parking Lot. PLEASE, if you visit, pack out what you pack in, respect the land, and let’s all do our part to keep it sacred.

It's a mixed feeling. The hot spring itself is nice, although the most high pool is the only one hot, the rest where the water trinkles down are warm and some are barely warm. There are lots of pools, about 8-9 in totals, if I recall correctly. The not so nice part is that even on a gloomy Wednesday, the place was packed with a bunch of naked people flaunting their junk around like its their bathroom. It's not the prettiest sight! Definitely not a place to bring your kids.

The hike is short but steep. There's a temperature for everyone with the hottest pool at the top and the coolest at the bottom.

All the reviews are true, parking lot fits a dozen cars so expect it to be tough to park. Trail up is not long but definitely treacherous- broken ankle central. The springs themselves are hot and beautiful. Lots of people at all times so you may have to wait to get in. The slope they’re on is super slippery and steep so waiting looks like crouched on the cliff edge. Still an iconic Oregon experience everyone should check out.

I went mid January, was still snowing on the summit. The gate to access the hot springs was closed so I hiked in from the gate. Was an awesome experience no one around.I Went a month ago and was disgusted by the riff-raff that was there, I turned around and just visited the waterfalls in the area. Its kind of hit and miss on your experience, go during winter, less riff-raff.

Great hike. 1 mile RT. Lots of stairs but easy for us. The parking lot is small. The falls are beautiful. You can go over the railing and down to the waters edge but every year someone gets hurt doing this.

One of the most beautiful waterfalls and surroundings I've seen in Oregon. The overall experience can be a 3-star or 5-star depending on your level of adventure. The falls is WAY WAY WAY better if you do the treacherous climb down to the bottom, but it requires a near-vertical climb down a dirt slope and dirt-covered rocks (see my photos). There are ropes along the way but I was surprised just how vertical the route is. It was dry weather when we went, but I could only imagine how dangerous it would be in wet conditions. In climbing parlance, it would rate out as relatively straight forward Class 3 scrambling (without ropes). You have to be comfortable (and physically capable) on this kind of terrain, but the reward made this one of the best waterfall experiences I've had. There is simply no comparison viewing the falls from the elevated platform, which has limited views, and does not come close to the same experience at the bottom, where you can see and feel the power of the water and the flowing river so much closer up. The views are 100% wide open and unobstructed from below, and offer incredible photographic opportunities. The surroundings of this waterfall (and the upstream river gorge), and the adventure getting to it makes this one of the best waterfall experiences I've had.

What an exhilarating hike! The trail to Toketee Falls is short but full of excitement, winding through lush forest and leading to one of the most breathtaking waterfalls in Oregon. The view from the platform is absolutely worth every step — a must-see stop for any nature lover or photographer traveling through the Umpqua National Forest. #TravelWithRolando #AdventuresWithBella #ToketeeFalls #OregonAdventures

Beautiful place to experience. A beautiful trail to become one with nature with use of the river and waterfalls. Wish the trail was not as challenging. Not wheelchair accessible. Trail way is challenging at times with tree roots, rocks, narrow pathways and stair case.

Very nice hike with some great fall colors. Roundtrip took us about 45 minutes, but that was with lots of stops for photos. Waterfall was beautiful! There are lots of rocks, roots and stairs so it’s not an ideal hike for those with uneasy footing. Dog friendly :)

John Chambers’ video on here is not the same falls. Imagine my surprise when I saw the actual Toketee Falls. It’s beautiful but you can only watch the falls from a distance on a platform. Not sure if you can get to the bottom. There’s no pathway. It’s a bit of a hike, less than half a mile but with varied elevations, multiple flight of stairs, 120+ steps total. So be prepared. It was muddy and slippery when we went so it was a challenge. Was it worth it? It was to me.

Amazing waterfall! I made the stop on the road trip and the trail was short- about one mile return trip. I went in August and it was quite dry but the waterfall was still flowing. The hike was pretty easy to do and there is a nice viewing platform to see the falls. If you are on the highway, it is definitely worth stopping!

Everything you need to get outdoors! Or at least the stuff you might have left at home. Awesome rental fleet! Amazing book selection! From Philosophy, Botany, Geology, geography, comedy and children’s books! Trail snacks, cold drinks! Locally made art and jewelry. It’s just a cool little shop!

Amazing service and expertise. The best bike shop you could ask for! Great experience!

I rented a great bike for a full day. They were there early enough so we could still make the first shuttle, and Marcelo met us at a park after closing so I could still enjoy the final ride of the day. Friendly, awesome vibe, and a 5 star experience!

Saved my vacation! I had a crash that took out my rear wheel, and they were kind enough to repair it in a few hours for a very reasonable amount (replacing spoke, truing the wheel, and fixing the shifting). The shop also has a great vibe and carries a variety of cool camping and cycling gear. Highly recommended!!

We were on a road trip and not at all familiar with the area when we stopped by to take a look around and get some trail information. The guys here were so helpful. It was early in the season and lots of trails were still snow covered and they had all the current trail information and were able to give suggestions based on our skill level. We really didn't need to buy anything but we hunted around just for something to get because we felt like we owed them something for all the information. We had a great ride that afternoon and we will be back again some day for more riding in the area and if we need anything - this will be the place we stop! Great Crew!

Best Bike Shop in Oregon! Incredible service, very knowledgeable, and I think a good stock of parts. Olivia not only fixed my bike fast and correctly, she let me use a demo bike so I could make the shuttle ride. Then she made a warranty repair and didn't charge me for labor. Can I give her 6 Stars? Also, the shop staff have a great attitude, no arrogance. (I hope Fat Tire Farm reads this!) I'm coming back to Stoke-ridge just to do business here.

Fantastic bike shop and top notch bike rentals! We have rented from them twice both times their customer service and condition of the bikes has been awesome!

Super nice covered bridge that you can drive on. In great shape and easy to access. Great spot for a beverage/meal next door.

This is truly a hidden gem. I was looking for a place to hike after visiting the hot springs, and Wesfir popped up, so we went to check it out. This place has the biggest Frisbee golf course I've ever seen they have an amazing hiking trail, and they have a bike repair station.

For those looking for some fun photos then this is a good stop. The area is a park and has a few trails, but the main draw is the cover bridge. If you are planning to take picture of cars, keep in mind this is a one lane bridge so be aware of others coming in and out of the park. The grounds of the park are nice and a good place to picnic if it works out on your travels.

Really well maintained covered bridge and park. Bike washing station, along with tools for adjusting your bike. There's a train trestle as you walk a little further behind the park.

I have always had a thing for covered bridges since I was a kid and this one you can even drive through. It is in the perfect setting in a beautiful, quaint little town of Westfir, OR. The leaves were just starting to turn to fall colors which made the scene even more dramatic. Only a couple miles off of highway 58 if you are ever up that way.

Nice park area. Disc golf, small dirt bike track as well as many trails to try out on foot or bike.

BF (kip) And I use to discover these beauties together.. Out on a Road Trip and I came across this gem... Little different then the ones I use to find... I like the uniqueness of this one with the pedestrian wall thru.. Beautifully placed over the river. Walk or drive across this bridge and park in the rest area. Public bathrooms are available as well as picnic area's.

Cross a one lane bridge to find Only five out of the 17 or 18 pools were actually operational. The show pond has some trout in it but no giant Sturgeon left. Feeding the fish is still an option. A porta potty was on site for use. Covered picnic tables available.

I was very much interested in capturing some aerial footage of the dam & the fish hatchery, so I went to seek permission for a flyover of the property. I found all of the employees working on various project's from cleaning & maintaining the holding ponds to grounds keeping. I was directed to the Hatchery Manager who, like the other staff, was very friendly & helpful granting me permission, then he continued on with his work. I enjoyed the fly over & was able to see some impressive looking fish in the main viewing ponds. Posted here will be a clip with the viewing pond, which is due to the sun, reflection & water clarity subdued the fish, yet there are a few good shots. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the hatchery operations & I encourage others to take a tour of the important Leaburg Fish Hatchery.

Nice -a beautiful walk on the other side of hatchery if so inclined.

Nice scenic viewing ponds with trout and sturgeon. Fun place to take the kids and feed the fish. Educational signs and some hiking trails. Nice fishing at the lake. Just a great place to spend a day outdoors. Covered picnic areas, fire pits at the park within walking distance.

A unique location with a one lane steel bridge that has a viewing area & ample parking. The Hatchery function is an example of Dept. Of Fish & Games dedication to ensuring long-term sustainability. This location is a short distance from a the one lane Covered bridge built In 1938 which Is Still in use today.

huge beautiful sturgeons and steelheads and rainbow trout are in their own pond swimming around looking beautiful. WE really enjoyed our stop at the Leaburg Fish Hatchery. Especially good on a summer's day - next time we will take an official tour. The hatchery is at the gateway to the McKenzie River zone with splendid waterfalls, mountain biking and Clear Lake's boating & hiking.

Great place for the kids. You can feed swarms of trout, see sturgeon, and watch a dam in action close up. I've been going there since I was little, and now I bring my own kids.

OMFG. First off it's badass on the outside. And so cute inside. The multiple selections of seats is awesome. The prices are insanely affordable. They truly are better than going to Eug/Spfld. Will be back again!

Two screens, very clean, lots of snacks and food options, drinks for everyone or adults, cool decor, nice bathrooms, seating options for all sizes/high and low backs, friendly staff.

Watching "A Minecraft Movie" opening night here has been the best theater experience of my life. Chicken Jockey!!

This movie theater is the best all around theater I have ever been to. And I do mean ALL AROUND!!

I love this theater! Fully reclining chairs for only $13?! Yes, please!! Snacks much cheaper than a large theater, indeed! Hands down my new favorite place to see a movie....and I live in North Carolina! I was only here visiting family. Guess I'll have to come back to Oregon more often!

So super impressed with the customer service and our whole experience. So I bought tickets online for a movie for a date night last night with my husband. I purchased the good recliner seats. When we got there and they scanned our tickets, we realized I accidentally bought tickets for NEXT Friday, the wrong date! (My husband was going to be out of town next week.) We decided to ask if there were any seats left for tonight and that we were okay with the regular seats if needed. They told us they only had one recliner seat left unfortunately, but then another employee stepped in and they had a quiet little convo. They told us ‘one moment we have an idea!’ Apparently, they had one other person not show up…so they now had 2 separate recliner seats. They went and kindly asked a person if they didn’t mind to move her seat so that we could sit together. THANK YOU KIND PERSON WHO MOVED SEATS FOR US and THANK YOU RIO! And this was all during their rush. We rarely get a night away from the toddler and we have a second baby on the way. It was just a very kind thing that they did for us. They swapped our tickets and we were fine to watch our movie. Above and beyond!

sonic 3 froze mid fight scene when the went super sonic and super shadow

Dexter Lake Club, I picked the Wrong Time to Go There. They Were Closed, Looks Like a Cool Place, Looks like an Old 50's Roadhouse. It Was featured in the movie "Animal House".

Cool bar with good food. Stopped in for lunch after playing disc golf at Dexter state park which is across the road. Lots of Animal House photos. They also have video poker.

Yes, it's the place from the movie. Yes, the food is good. Sadly, the only easy way to check out their menu is if you are a 75 yr-old who still uses Facebook for everything. Sad they don't bother with even a half-ass website. Their price list on Yelp looks like it's from 1985. A half-rack of reef ribs for 4 bucks? Yeah right.

Nice chill vibe. Live music was very good! Loved the Prime Rib.

An iconic place. Was featured in the movie "Animal House". Great food and big portions.

Bbq is legit, these people know what their doing around a smoker. Several bbq sauces to choose from, so many good things to say! Definitely will be going back!

Saddened there wasn't any fireworks this year but had an awesome dinner and sat out back to enjoy karaoke. I'm not from Oregon but I do know they love the movie Animal House and to dine and drink here was an exciting evening. We had the California Club and the Diablo burger both were amazing.

Great short height really gives off the hills have eyes vibes were you feel like your constantly being watched but no one's around but super enjoyable hike with a beautiful ending

Beautiful despite she major fore that has hit. Lots of position oak.

Susan Creek waterfall trailhead is across the street from the Susan Creek day use area. The waterfall hike is .9 miles with some uphill travel to the waterfall in areas, but not bad. It’s a pretty mellow hike and easy for kids, BUT BEWARE the entire trail is surrounded with poison oak! It was difficult keeping kids from touching it, since it was dangling over the path. Letting kids know if you see “leaves of three, leave them be.” You can tell little ones that all you want, but kids want to pick up sticks and hop all over the place! So, if you catch poison oak pretty bad, either wear a full body suit or find a different path! They have been working on cleaning up the fire damaged trees in this area. There’s only enough space for three cars in the waterfall trailhead parking but the parking lot is covered in cut burnt trees at the moment. Also, the trash near the bathroom was horrible! Pick up after yourselves people! This is the reason why many of our beautiful natural places are not open to the public anymore! Once you make it to the end, you will love the reward! The waterfall is powerful and you can sit close enough to get a nice refreshing mist!

Easy .8 mile hike each way. Was at end of dry season, so smaller than other times but still nice. Whole 138 hwy great for waterfalls.

This was probably very beautiful once. But the fire had ruined the landscape around the fall. The fall itself is still beautiful, but the trail is not. The hike was short and full of black berries and poison oak, all the trees are charcoal, and the parking lot is semi abandoned looking.

It's a wonderful hike ( Even after the fire) with a beautiful waterfall. It has a well kept trail as well.

I went in early September. Plenty of water still running over it. Unfortunately the fire really decimated this area and most of the trees are dead. Like all of them 😔 Tons of poison oak took over and is everywhere. Encroaching on the trail in some places. Super easy trail that is handicapable. There was a couple on their mobility scooters when I was there. I would advise not to bring little kids because the the poison oak but it's your thing, do what cha wanna do. Wish I could have seen it before the fires.

This is a really cool mountain to hike. Fair warning—it's pretty much straight uphill, so be ready for a workout. I’d call it a mildly advanced hike, definitely not for beginners unless you're up for a challenge. That said, the scenery is absolutely worth it. Beautiful views all the way up, and you could honestly spend the whole day exploring if you wanted to. Just bring water, good shoes, and a sense of adventure.

Beautiful area, lots of cool trails with shade. We recorded 1239 ft in elevation gain. But there are flat trails you can take by the river and going across the lili pad pond. Trail 36 is treacherous. Berry bushes are overgrown and the trail itself is little more than a dry creek bed. Very interesting place to visit. Our dog wandered off trail at one point and got tons of tiny stickers on him.

Peace and serenity The view will blow you away a retreat for everyday and night

Reminiscing through old photos. I've since moved, but remember this being a good local spot near Eugene. Solid uphill hike with various trails to extend and wrap around. If you're just looking for a good walk you can go through the arboretum and look through all the beautiful flowers and get some history on the area. Pictures from my last trek end of April '23

I go here 2-4 times a week most of the year. It's both a place to exercise, and a place to contemplate. My favorite trails have different faces depending on the time of year, time of day, temperature, level of busyness. I'm always glad I came. I usually walk solo, spend my hour plus just moving steadily through the sections of hillside, taking in the next vista or patch of tiny wildflowers. I see wildlife here, of course. Mostly birds, occasionally deer, snakes, lizards, coyote, newts, a shrew, bugs galore. I've never had poison oak, but it's only because I'm very aware of it. Take care when touching anything off of the trail, even just stepping off to let a horse and rider pass. It's would be very easy to land in a patch of the stuff! Come with friends, come alone, bring your dog, your kids. It's a wonderful treasure. When the storms this winter closed the park for a few weeks, I missed it very much. May it continue to be available to us forever!

Mt pisgah is the best! Hiking there’s a swim area and has the two best festivals in the spring and fall (mushroom and wild flower). Support them by paying for parking $5 and supporting vendors, pick up what you bring and respect the land. Love this beautiful park right up here in lane county! So many good hikes :) my favorite is the secret little swing hill!!

Such a great place to hike and explore! Such beautiful scenery! We made it to the top, and even though we couldn't see the view from the top because of the fog, the fog added elements that made the walk so enjoyable. We went on a Saturday rainy afternoon in February, and it wasn't crowded at all, they also have benches along some of the trails for those who need to take breaks. I cant wait to go back and take another trail. You do have to pay for parking unless you have a pass. We used our card and it gave us a ticket to put on our dash.

Beautiful public park with the country's oldest Filbert trees (1903). Lots of great walking paths and views of surrounding hills.

Awesome walking paths. Very scenic. Would definitely come again

Great use of historic land. 2 mile loop dog friendly, bike friendly, not too crowded. Over half of it is shaded

We love coming here and walking as a family. So pretty! Love to see the greenery

Very nice walking paths through trees and along the river.

Great fun unique place! This is a lot like an Old Homestead and walking through all the Orchards during different times of the year makes this place feel new and different every time. There are roads that can be walked on through the orchards. And there are paths that can be walked on through the old growth woods. On the upper parking lot of Doris Ranch, there is a paved path that goes all along the Southside of the river for roughly 8 miles.? My husband and I rode from the disc golf location all the way to Doris Ranch. It is fun to watch all the ground squirrels collecting hazelnuts. This Ranch is located in the same Valley that I-5 is going through so you can hear I-5 traffic throughout Doris ranch. It is quieter in the forest.

So many different little trails that you can take and it’s pretty much all flat ground. It’s a nice spot if you’re wanting a quick little hike.

Love this little museum. Fright Night was awesome.

Interesting small place. The haunted Museum they had this year was good, but not great. Wasn’t much and it was a fast walk through. I think we were through it less then 3 minutes. The kids had fun so it was worth it.

Maddie at the front desk was informative and delightful.

The Springfield History Museum is on the small side but is definitely worth visiting. The front room is used for rotating exhibits, while the room in the back has a permanent display. It's free and there is a small gift shop.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it is free, well run and very historical. They have a small gift area, but good prices. T-shirts too Donations are appreciated.

Jebediah Springfield's flute did contain a strange confession but I had an enjoyable time researching this great town. However, the nuclear power plant could probably use some extra safety measures.

This was pretty interesting to experience the local history. I'd love to see more Simpsons references, but the rights probably costs too much. Especially now with Mickey owning them.

Springfield Oregon is the home of The Simpsons! Collection of wonderful murals found throughout downtown Springfield. Take a gander while walking to the bars or restaurants nearby. Bayne truly is an artist and does fine work.

This mural is incredible, and finding the others scattered around the nearby streets/alleys was good fun!

This large mural is great, and the local art gallery in the same building has a fiberglass sculpture of the Simpsons couch that you can take pictures with (for a suggested donation). The staff there was very kind, and they also had printed handouts that listed all of the mural locations around town!

Emerald Art Gallery visit on 2nd Friday! Steam punk art on 2nd floor was awesome, beautiful art on display, and affordable gift shop!

Super fun time walking around for about 30 minutes, finding all the murals. Springfield is a nice-looking town. Everyone was very pleasant. There are lots of other beautiful murals around town besides the simpsons ones. I really enjoyed looking at all the artwork.

It really cool, but why didn’t put in spring field in Indiana, they have a place for it. If they put that there it will be better 😀

Surprisingly nice downtown. Nice walk around and look for Simpsons murals

They were informative, nice and eager to help. They've done a lot of good work.

I wish it was a little bigger the downtown

Had a look at this on the drive past, pretty nice to see the solid construction of this older old wooden railway bridge, it was also handy to be inside it when it started hammering down with rain. Seems like a great place to go for a jog or walk if you lived there.

Really fun bridge to visit. Kids had a rope swing tied to the bottom of the bridges and were having fun.

Oregon historical covered bridges route brings you to amazing beautifully maintained history. This bridge is packed with community love. Facts, information, craftsmanship, is truly amazing. Has a train of rails to climb and play, picnic area, walking trails, and truly a breathtaking area to adventure!

I absolutely LOVED this bridge for some reason. The surrounding area made the bridge that much more beautiful. Saw a gorgeous Blue Heron. Just memorizing. The town itself was quaint and I just wanted to jog all morning there! The river was swift flowing and the sounds were music to my ears and very soothing

So much history in such a little town. Beautiful homes and people all around!

This is a truly impressive covered bridge. Renovated using locally sourced materials from a lumberyard variable of working with such large lumber. It would be even better if they put a real stream engine at the entrance.

Happy 100th birthday to the LAST covered railroad bridge in Oregon! This bridge was built in 1925 and spans the Coast Fork Willamette River. If you love trains and history like me, you gotta check out this unique structure. Not only is it the last one of its kind in the state but, also the only fully intact covered railroad bridge west of the Mississippi!
