Skinner Butte Park Trail is a prominent hill on the north edge of downtown Eugene, Oregon. It is 100 acres of property along the Willamette River. The park has several significant cultural resources and provides a comprehensive view of the city. It is a well-known site for rock climbing and birding with other recreational activities. The park has over 30+ miles of river access on the paved bike path along the river greenway connecting many other parks in the loop on both river banks.

SKINNER BUTTE PARK TRAIL REVIEWS
A really fun park to explore. Skinner Butte is a nice easy hike with a rewarding view of the city. The walking trail along the river is my favorite, it goes through many cool sights (rose garden, community garden, wetlands, etc) and links up with other paths. Great for biking, dog walks, or chatting with a friend.
Lovely park. There's walking trails, places to picnic whether at the picnic tables or on the grass with a river view. Very relaxing. We enjoyed our picnic lunch by the river on the grass on our blanket. Loved every moment of it. Highly recommended. Family friendly and great for picnic dates with your someone special.
Really nice park with a great playground, wooded hiking, and a riverwalk.

MOUNT PISGAH ARBORETUM REVIEWS
Many trails of varying difficulty wind over the mountain and through forests and fields surrounding it. Leashed dogs allowed. Clean restrooms, water available usually. Very nice art and educational installations for kids and adults. Excellent birding!
There are trails for all levels of hikers and there's even an area for swimming. Even though there is $5 parking fee, the trails are very well-maintained and there are a LOT of trails. There are gravel trails, dirt trails, rocky creek bed trails, steep trails, flat trails, short trails, long trails, shaded trails, exposed trails, wide trails, narrow trails, and more! There are also plenty of lizards and snakes in the Spring and Summer. I highly recommend at least checking this place out. There's plenty of parking with 3 separate parking lots which are located at the base of different main trails that branch off into other trails.
Beautiful, easy, nature stroll along different trails. Love the little educational exhibits scattered along the trail

Spencer Butte is a forested natural area consists of a rugged hiking trail up to the top of a scenic butte. It is one of the prominent landmarks in Eugene. It has over 12 miles of trail starting at seven main trailheads. It is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene. The view from the top is quite breathtaking, and you won't be disappointed if you arrange your visit to meet with sunset. So, on a nice day, go for a hike and take in the breathtaking views of Eugene from the top.

SPENCER BUTTE REVIEWS
Very clean trail with lots of rocks. It’s a great workout for the legs on the way up the views are completely breathtaking on a clear sunny day.
Spencer Butte is an excellent hike, steep, and very rewarding. Take the more difficult route for a real workout but the regular route is all that most people need.
The main trail is a moderate hike, it’s well-maintained and has plenty of little places to step off to the side if you need a quick break, or wish to maintain social distancing when passing others. The views from the top are easily the best in the Eugene-Springfield area.
