What is there to do in Eugene?
There is definitely enough to do in Eugene and Lane County to keep you and your family busy for your entire vacation. Eugene is just an hour away from the Pacific Ocean and all of the coastal activities that Florence has to offer. Spend the day or the weekend dune buggying in the sand dunes, exploring historic Old Town Florence, hiking to Heceta Head Lighthouse or descending into the cave home of the Steller sea lions. Eugene is also only an hour from the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Here you can go river rafting, hiking through old-growth forests, mountain biking, picnicking at waterfalls or simply relaxing in a cabin retreat. The metro area of Eugene and Springfield can also keep you busy. Bicycle from one end to the other along the river paths, explore the unique Saturday Market or Farmer’s Market, visit the museums to catch a glimpse of this area’s past, or take in a performance at the acclaimed Hult Center for the Performing Arts.
