Fun at its finest...
photo by Christie Johnson
Cottage Grove’s many waterways offer plentiful activities to fill a long summer day.
S
...all summer long
ooner or later, visitors and newcomers to Cottage Grove soon discover what oldtimers have known for years: that this end of the Willamette Valley offers a spectacular array of activities to match the diverse interests and passions of its people.
The Sentinel staff sincerely hopes you enjoy the 2015 edition of its popular Recreation Guide as much as we enjoy bringing it to you each year. We trust you will find its contents informative and useful, whether you’re planning a long weekend in the woods or a night on the town. 4
Visitors travel to Cottage Grove year-round, but summertime brings a season of activity unrivaled by many small communities. Watersports enthusiasts flock to Dorena and Cottage Grove reservoirs, both located conveniently close to town, which offer fishing, water skiing, boating, windsurfing and many other aquatic activities, in addition to great picnic and camping facilities. The Row River Trail continues to draw acclaim as a premier cycling destination, and cyclists can easily access its paved pathway in town and ride for miles upstream, past Dorena Reservoir on a slow, gradual climb.
C
ottage Grove offers a packed summer schedule for many events downtown, and a walk down Main Street, with its historic buildings and many murals, still recalls the town’s early years. Bohemia Mining Days brings Cottage Grove’s mining history to life each July in Coiner Park, and monthly art walks, the popular Concert in the Park series and weekly grower’s markets give both residents and visitors the chance to take in local culture and spectacular summer weather. Theater enthusiasts can view worldclass productions at the Cottage Theatre or experience a taste of the avant garde at the Arcade Theater downtown. The town is also known as the “Covered Bridge Capital of Oregon,” and a drive or bike ride past seven historic bridges is only minutes away. With so many options for fun in our community, we hope you’ll consider visiting often and taking advantage of all this town has to offer. And of course, take this handy guide with you for countless hours of unrivaled entertainment!

Row River Trail O
ne of the nicest non-motorized trails in the Willamette Valley is located right here in Cottage Grove. Row River Trail, a National Recreation Trail, is a 16-mile paved and graveled path from downtown Cottage Grove heading southeast past Dorena Lake along Row River to Culp Creek.

Sportsman’s outlook
Rising temperatures in the springtime bring Oregon’s fishing enthusiasts out to try their luck on area waterways, and the promise of stunning scenery and plenty of action makes this part of the world a fisherman’s paradise! Umpqua River Now that the water is warming up, the opportunities for catching good numbers of shad and smallmouth bass are increasing. Shad fishing is usually productive through Father’s Day and smallmouth bass fishing using a variety of lures such as twister-tails and worms should be good throughout the summer months. Spring chinook fishing has slowed
with the low water conditions making some boating access difficult. Coast Fork The Coast Fork Willamette River was recently stocked with a total of 1,500 hatchery trout. Fish are released from approximately Harrison Avenue Bridge to Bennett Creek Road. Both native and hatchery trout are available for harvest from April 25 through Oct. 31. Bait use is allowed during the same period. Cottage Grove Pond Cottage Grove Pond in the Row River Nature Park was stocked with 2,000 fish in early April. This was the last
trout stocking of the Row River Nature Park Pond this season, although trout and warmwater fish will continue to be available to anglers. To access this family-friendly fishery, travel east from Cottage Grove on Row River Road. Only the pond with the dock is stocked with hatchery trout. This pond also offers wildlife viewing opportunities and is open to fishing all year. CG and Dorena Reservoir Cottage Grove Reservoir was last stocked in mid-April with 4,500 rainbow trout. This will be the last stocking until October. The reservoir is south of Cottage Grove and is open to fishing all year.

Wilson Creek and Lakeside Park boat ramps should be accessible at the current reservoir elevation. Dorena Reservoir was stocked in late April with 6,300 rainbow trout. The reservoir is east of Cottage Grove on Row River Road and is open to fishing all year. Both Baker Bay and Harms Park boat ramps are accessible at current reservoir levels. Suggested tactics for those seeking to land trout includes trolling spinners in the lakes, though bank fishing from shore on area lakes and streams with Berkley Powerbait or nightcrawlers also works well. The reservoir also offers terrific bird-watching op-
larger trout. All non-adipose fin-clipped trout must be released unharmed. This river reach is open to retention of adipose finclipped steelhead and nonadipose fin-clipped steelhead greater than 24 inches in length. Gear is restricted to flies and lures, except bait use is allowed upstream of Hendricks Bridge through the end of the year.
portunities, with bald eagles, various ducks, red-winged blackbirds, and other migratory songbirds frequently observed in spring. Dorena Reservoir was last stocked in late April and will be stocked next in mid-October. Garden Lake Garden Lake was stocked in early April. The Lake is open to fishing year-round, though vegetation is a problem in late-spring. It is located on the east side of I-5 in Creswell.
Hunting opportunities Turkey season is open through May 31, and an excellent season is to be expected. All indicators point to a healthy population in Douglas County, an area that is renowned statewide and beyond for turkey hunting.
McKenzie River The McKenzie River below Leaburg Lake will be boat stocked from Leaburg Landing to Hendricks Bridge with a total of 6,000 hatchery trout, including 1,750

became prohibitive. Today a well maintained, multi-purpose trail exists for multiple types of non-motorized trail enthusiasts (e.g., walkers, hikers, bicyclists, runners, horseback riders, in-line skaters, etc.) On a sunny day with a few rest stops and some wildlife watching, the approximately 34-mile, round-trip bicycle ride takes between four to five hours. The trail provides the best of what the area has to see. You can start from downtown at the Row River trailhead or along any part of the trail. One of the best spots is at Mosby Creek trailhead, where you can view Row River off Mosby Creek Bridge, the oldest covered bridge in Lane County. The Mosby Creek Covered Bridge was built in 1920. Several points of interest can be found along the trail and intermittent signs provide mileage and facility access for parking, toilets and drinking water. Trail use is free and it’s open for public enjoyment a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour past sunset.

ne of the nicest non-motorized trails in the Willamette Valley is located right here in Cottage Grove. Row River Trail, a National Recreation Trail, is a 16-mile paved and graveled path from downtown Cottage Grove heading southeast past Dorena Lake along Row River to Culp Creek. Beyond the Culp Creek Trailhead is a graveled surface path that extends to the old railroad turnaround. In 1994 the Bureau of Land Management acquired the abandoned railway to develop a trail for public recreation as part of the Rails-to-Trails program that exists across the country. Starting in 1902, the original line of the “Old Slow and Easy” steam engines hauled ore, logs and supplies along the Oregon and Southern Eastern line. Later in 1971, an excursion train called The Blue Goose carried passengers between Cottage Grove and Disston, just past the trail’s end, until railway activity
