Eugene Overview
Located along the Willamette River, Eugene has a dynamic mix of arts and culture, shopping and dining, entertainment and sports. With real adventures, real close, this is a one-stop shop for fun. After all, it’s TrackTown USA, the home of the University of Oregon, a hotbed for craft breweries and a major destination for foodies, cyclists and counter-culture history buffs.
As a culinary destination, Eugene offers an abundance of locally-grown, raised and produced food products. From small farms to community gardens to yogurt, cheese, chocolate and coffee companies, the quality of Northwest regional dining is superb. A glass of award-winning Oregon Pinot Noir complements every meal.
Framed by rolling wine country, agricultural lands and lush green forests, Eugene offers easy access to stunning natural beauty as well as abundant outdoor adventures. Just an hour west, romp on sandy beaches and explore dramatic coastal vistas, and just a few hours east, climb to the summit of snow-capped Cascades!
