South Willamette Valley
Lane County rests at the southern end of the Willamette Valley. It encompasses Eugene, Springfield, Drain, McKenzie Bridge, and Cottage Grove to the south. There are plenty of wineries to enjoy, but visitors can also sprinkle their sipping fun with some white-water rafting, deep-woods hiking, and cheering on the Oregon Ducks. To the west lies the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area and to the east the beautiful Central Oregon communities of Sisters, Bend, and Redmond.
