Fun at its finest... S
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 2017 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. 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.

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 Opal 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!

Fishing outlook Where to find the best fishing spots around Cottage Grove and South Lane 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 should be good throughout the summer months. As of May 10, Spring Chinook were reported being caught in the Scottsburg to Elkton area on a regular basis, and as water temperatures approach the mid 50s, fishing should improve.
Coast Fork The Coast Fork Willamette River was recently stocked with a total of 1000 hatchery trout. Bait use is allowed through Oct. 31. Trout are released into the river at several locations near town. In addition to 5 hatchery trout, two wild trout may be kept daily. Cottage Grove Pond Cottage Grove Pond in the Row River Nature Park was stocked with 2,000 fish in early April. 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 4,250 rainbow trout. This will be the last stocking until October. The reservoir is south of Cottage Grove and is open to fishing all year. Dorena Reservoir was stocked in late April with 6000 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 opportunities, with bald eagles, various ducks, red-winged blackbirds, and other migratory songbirds frequently observed in spring. Dorena Reservoir will be stocked next in mid-October.
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 larger trout. All non-adipose fin-clipped trout must be released unharmed. Leaburg Dam is scheduled to remain open without restrictions to vehicular and pedestrian traffic until construction work on the dam resumes in June 2017. 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. The McKenzie River above Leaburg Lake is stocked with hatchery trout from Finn Rock to Goodpasture Landing, with some summer releases from Forest Glen boat landing, from late April through mid-September. The upper McKenzie River was boat stocked from Finn Rock to Goodpasture Bridge the week of April 25 with a total of 9,250 fish. The upper McKenzie River will be truck stocked at the boat landings from Finn Rock downstream to Ben and Kay Dorris Wayside this week with a total of 1,250 fish.

Solar eclipse will blackout Oregon
Cottage Grove is one of the few cities with hotel accommodations still available around the state as eclipse -watchers jockey for a spot On August 21, the sun will disappear in the state of Oregon. A total solar eclipse is set to plunge several cities in its path into darkness for up to three minutes for the first time in decades and travelers and residents alike are taking advantage of one of the few states to be in its path. Eugene and Cottage Grove can expect to be in the path of the eclipse at 10:18 a.m. on the 21st and remain in its shadow for approximately one minute and 30 seconds. Campgroups, hotels and RV parks have been booked for over a year with the state releasing 100 extra acres of camp ground for the event.
However, Cottage Grove’s three hotels still have rooms available for the rare event this August. According to NASA, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth and the moon fully or partially blocks the sun. On August 21, the sun will be completely absent from the sky in the “totality� zone that sits directly over Salem, Ore. and partially darkened in an area south of Cottage Grove to north of Portland. For more information on the event, where to stay, camp or join a viewing party, please visit oregonstateparks.org or contact the Cottage Grove Chamber of Commerce at (541) 942-2411.
