Things to Do in Cottage Grove

Cottage Grove is a quintessential American town, with a Main Street that seems made for the movies; no wonder it has attracted Hollywood since the '20s when Buster Keaton's The General was filmed here. Take a self-guided tour of the town's scenic murals, drive or ride a bike along the Covered Bridges Scenic Tour Route or relax with boating, fishing or a swim in nearby lakes and rivers.

Expand your explorations in Cottage Grove to include the public golf course, the Cottage Grove Speedway, the Oregon Aviation Historical Society and nearby hikes to waterfalls.
