Eugene is an environmentally conscious city that offers many outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, floating the river, and rock climbing. Outside of the city, it is an hour drive to Florence, Oregon, where you can visit the beautiful Oregon coast and play in the ocean. An hour east will take you to the Cascade Mountains, home of beautiful day hiking and backpacking trails that feature alpine lakes and forests. In town there are a wealth of fun things to do from eating, to strolling, to dancing! Below are some local activities. For exploring outside of city limits the Eugene, Cascades & Coast website is a great resource with day trips, hiking trails, activity ideas and more all within Lane County!
