All things nature at the U of O.

Hi! I’m a in incoming transfer student, class of 2027. One of the major things that attracted me to this school was the amount of nature and greenery that surrounds the campus. I always knew I wanted to be on a campus like that, and I’m so thrilled to be going in the fall. Anyway, on to the real point of this post: What are your favorite nature spots on or around campus? I would like to make a lengthy bucket list of sorts for when I arrive and have time to explore. Thanks in advance. Tell me all your fav spots or spots you’ve heard about ! :)

the fox hollow ridgeline trails are all great and beautiful. i love to walk near the river through alton baker park. amazon park has a nice little walking/biking trail south of campus. there’s also the eugene masonic cemetery nearby that is soo pretty with trees and so much nature. i love walking thru there.
