Skinner Butte

We went down to the river bank and my son had fun exploring! There is a easy dirt trail that follows the river about 50 or so ft back and then there is a rough trail close to the river's bank, which my kid enjoyed scrambling through. The path came out on a nice stone beach.

What a wonderful park. I got about 3 miles in on my walk. It was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of bicycles! I walked along the river on the way out and that was way better than the cement path. There is flower garden too!!!

By far my favorite park in all of the Eugene/ Springfield area The only two downsides and they are pretty major considering the hiking trails, lack of shade etc etc.. 1 there are no portable toilets/ or public restrooms unless you leave the butte and go all the way down to the north riverside playground that has public restrooms. and last but not least.. They had a water fountain back in the day… but politics?!?, Bologna….. etc etc They have no water for anyone or any furry thing.. Bring your own water…

It has a lot of open space in the park area of Skinner Butte. It has a playground area and running trail. But a lot of different activities go on there so it's best to check with the nearby Cambel community center for activities going on currently. The community center is inside Skinner Butte park .

Beautiful Viewpoint, trails and picnic area. Restrooms at top of Viewpoint view area and lots of parking. Rv challenge in turn around.

Cool little hike, wonderful vista of the city nestled in the valley.

Great place to hike to and view Eugene
