Outdoor Adventures

Eugene & Springfield are very bike friendly cities. The Ruth Bascom River Bank Path System lines 12 miles of both sides of the Willamette River. Access to the path is just a few short blocks from the Hilton.

The Eugene, Cascades & Coast region has over a dozen waterfalls that are within easy driving distance and some are right off the highway for easy access.

It's all here - beautifully designed championship golf courses, exquisite private courses, easily accessible public courses, and the nation's largest on-course pro shop.

For those that crave adventure, this is a great way to see the famous Oregon Coast sand dunes. If you like speed and adrenaline, try a ride in the small 4-8 seat dune buggy. For a more scenic and still exhilarating ride, try the 20 seat buggy.

Exceptional fishing and rafting adventures abound in the Eugene, Cascades & Coast region.
