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.

Inside:

Summer Events Schedule Row River Trail Lakes and Rivers Trails and Hiking Cottage Grove City Map Fishing Outlook Cycling Waterfalls Camping Grower’s Market, concerts Golf More To Do Speedway Dining Lodging

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 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!

Cycling the 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 and home of the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway, 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,

À ¾

just past the trail’s end, until railway activity 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

Trail use is free and it’s open for public enjoyment a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour past sunset.

The name of the Row River Trail has a bit of a story behind it: the correct pronunciation rhymes with “cow”. It was named after a dispute between two men battling over cattle and sheep grazing rights during settlement of the valley in the early 1850’s. The Row River Trail portion of the bikeway has been designated as a National Recreation Trail.

POINT OF INTEREST The Mosby Creek Covered Bridge, located just off the trail, is a white bridge built in 1920. Row Point survives as a remnant of a native prairie community, featuring showy displays of wildflowers during spring.

DIRECTIONS take Interstate 5 to the Cottage Grove exit (#174), and turn east onto Row River Road.

Travel for 3.5 miles. Turn right onto Layng Road and proceed 1.2 miles to the corner of Layng and Mosby Creek Roads.

Other popular cycling routes

Lorane Road For a mostly flat ride that passes lovely pastures and picturesque views of the hills, follow Main Street west of town, which in less than a mile becomes Lorane Road. Strong riders can climb the hill that begins about seven miles out, using their bike’s lowest gears, and those who are very ambitious can go on to Lorane, 15 miles out. The road has light to moderate traffic.

Lower Brice Creek Road Another country route to try is on Lower Brice Creek Road, which begins about 15 miles from town past Culp Creek. The narrow, little traveled road begins off Row River Road on the left for those coming from town. It offers an easy ride past a creek and countryside pastures.

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.

Fish for catching, birds for watching 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!

Likewise, the area’s birds can make the day of any birdwatcher or enthusiast.
