Moving to Eugene Oregon

Owosso Bike Bridge to Greenway Bike Bridge

Sunday I walked the 1 1/2 mile section of the West Bank Bike Path by the Willamette River from the Owosso Bike Bridge off Copping Street in River Road to the Greenway Bike Bridge in Maurie Jacobs Park. Here’s a link to the
bike path map.
It was a warm beautiful day and lots of people were out enjoying the bike path and playing
in the Willamette River. The annual Whiteaker Block Party was going on also.

[Shameless Plug] I just listed five duplexes on Copping (bordering the river) and East Howard and wanted to explore the area.

This section of the path is very beautiful and shady with lovely views of the river. Close to the Copping Street end of the path is a large duck pond where people enjoy feeding the ducks.

I ran across some people playing with their dog in the river.

The Greenway Bike Bridge, seen in the distance, leads to Valley River Center mall. On full moon nights people come out to dance Argentine Tango on the bridge.

I passed by some girls enjoying a swing on the river.

Here’s some boys tubing down the river.

Another beautiful view from the path. Spencer Butte is in the background.

There are wildflowers to enjoy too.

An island hideaway.

This section of the bike path takes you to the Greenway Bike Bridge at Maurie Jacobs Park.

There are community gardens all over Eugene. This one is in Maurie Jacobs Park across from the Greenway Bike Bridge.

This is the end of North Grand Street, entering the park.
