Water Activities
| The Eugene, Cascades & Coast region offers an abundance of rivers and lakes. Hop in a kayak and paddle the region's water trails or launch a boat on a placid lake and go fishing! From the Pacific Ocean to Waldo Lake above Oakridge; from the coastal Suislaw River to the McKenzie River in the Cascades, there are plenty of places to splash around. |

Life Jacket Lending Program
Life jackets are required by law for all occupants in a boat, raft or kayak. Children under the age of 12 are required to be wearing them.
