Hawkins Hill Reservoir
Lake
👍👍 This Reservoir brings back lots of memories. My younger brother and I used to have regular childhood adventures here in the early 1970's. We would pack a lunch and hike up to the "Res" with our Red Rider BB guns! In those days, there was nothing but horse pastures and orchards up there. There was no...

👍👍 Beautiful hike with friendly hikers and a well kept trail. Super easy to locate and park great for any skill level. Found a cute tree that someone is making into a little fairy tree! I recommend hiking boots as it can be a bit muddy but a great trail to get you out in nature!

👍👍 A community garden project somewhat tucked away but with great infrastructure and space. They have many community member volunteers and even ones from americorp.

StarCycle Eugene
Indoor cycling
👍👍 StarCycle Eugene is a top-tier temple! Led by the passionate, sweet, and positive Julie K, this is more than an exercise class, but a community safe-haven. A sure way to turn my day around. This winter, their team and the workout got me through my seasonal blues. They are consistently professional,...

Oregon Wine LAB
Winery
👍👍 I found this place when I walked around Eugene. It was around noon so not crowded. I taste 5 kinds of wine. She wrote name of wine on bottom of glass. These wines are tasty and had hard time to choose a bottle which I wanted to buy for my friend back in Tokyo. The person at counter was very fri...

Wild Iris Ridge, Summit Neighborhood path
Hiking area
😐 Mostly oak and Rhody. Some of the biggest rhodies I've ever seen. Somewhat dull on the way up but better when you get to the loop. I'll be honest, this is not my favorite hike. If you're more focused on the exercise than the scenery this is a good place. I felt the views to be mediocre compared to o...
