The maps are faded and useless on the trial. They also drop out and non-existent for the second half around the lake. When the RR trail ends, you take the Shoreview Dr., which shares the road with cars. Even though it is newly paved it has not settled and still gravelly. There are some uphill sections along the main road and not as scenic. It reconnects with RR trail at Mossy Park. Start of the trail is across from Bohemia Park. To view most of the bridges you have to go off the trail. I thought you would ride into them but that is not the case.

Many waterfalls and swimming holes along this amazing and shaded trail…read more Love mossy rocks? How about lush ferns? How do you feel about cascading water? Do you enjoy dipping your feet into cold water on a hot summer day? Or how about swimming among giant redwood trees? If any of this sounds appealing you need to visit Sweet Creek Falls. We came in the middle of summer and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon hiking, meditating, and swimming. There are 11 waterfalls ranging in size and close to 2.5 miles all together of shaded trails to explore, rustic bridges included. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Oregon last summer. Know before you go: Parking lots at each trailhead. Super stinky bathroom located only at Homestead Trailhead. Dog friendly. And most importantly FREE! *Don't be surprised to see topless women swimming. We all have breasts and it's a beautiful thing to be free especially in a place like this. If this bothers you just look away. *Don't use Yelp directions as they'll take you to the wrong place. Use Google instead. I've reported this several times but like nearly everything I report Yelp ignores it. And Happy Earth Day! If you haven't discovered what nature can do for your soul I highly recommend getting away from the daily grind, turning your phone off, and just enjoying what places like this can do for you. It's truly magical.

There are so many photo opportunities. Many different bridges along the trail allow you to walk over the water. There is a part of the trail where you have to walk through a small stream. I wasn't wearing the proper gear and didn't want wet shoes and socks, so we headed back at that point and headed towards the upper parking lot. The upper trail still had snow on the ground, and the parking area was pretty soggy. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would love to come back again during a drier season. Highly recommend!

I travel to this hot spring at least twice a year. It's a magical hidden gem I highly recommend…read morevisiting once in your life. If you have never been to a hot spring before, the first thing you will notice is the smell. It's not human poop or pee, hot springs release a gas called sulphur which smells like rotten eggs. You get used to the smell prettty quickly or you don't. Either way it's natural so don't worry. If you are not a hiker I wouldn't recommend this spot. The forest rangers usually keep the entrance of this place closed so be prepared to walk about 2 miles to the entrance of the hot spring. Once you get to the parking lot of the hot spring, you are going to have to hike up a pretty steep slope but don't worry, there are some make shift hand rails that will guide you to the spring. Please for the love of god don't forget towels, water and possibly a flashlight if you are going at night. Also clean up after yourself. Don't leave trash or wet clothes behind for someone else to pick up.

A Beautiful Return to a Place Full of Nature and History…read more Both my wife and I had visited this spot before when we lived in the area, so with a little time to spare before lunch nearby, we decided to revisit it with her son and daughter-in-law. Nestled on a forested butte just east of the University of Oregon in Eugene, this area is absolutely stunning. The rhododendron garden is especially beautiful, offering a peaceful and scenic escape that feels tucked away from the city. Beyond its natural beauty, the area is steeped in history. One of the most notable connections is to Steve Prefontaine--a legendary runner and seven-time NCAA champion for Oregon. He trained in and around Hendricks Park and tragically passed away in a car accident on a winding road just below the park. His legacy lives on not only in the running world but also in the early success of Nike, where he became the brand's first sponsored athlete and helped elevate it to global prominence. Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or just looking for a quiet place to explore, this area is well worth a visit.
