State Scenic Bikeways
Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway

The Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway is Oregon's first designated bikeway. The 132-mile route features sites important to Oregon's history and the most diverse crop lands on earth.
Route finding on the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway can be done with the maps, the cue sheets and road signs. We strongly recommended that two of the three ways are used because signs can be down or missed. While we strive for accurate maps, there may be inconsistencies. Cue sheets mileages are approximate.
Bikeway in the News
Travel Oregon's online magazine highlights a cycling tour of the Willamette Valley Scenic Bikeway, including great places to eat and stay.

Water Trails

Rafting down the John Day River
Water trails are rivers or lakes that act as corridors or "trails." Water trail facilities are legal and safe put-ins and take-outs, parking, restrooms and camping, all designed for kayaks, canoes, drift boats and other small, motor-free water craft.

Some of Oregon's water trails were completely grassroots driven and some were developed by a coalition of private groups and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

This site is one place to find all of Oregon's water trails listed with links for more information and for timely alerts and announcements.

The need for water trails grew out of several issues including:
* A need to address conflicts between motorized and non-motorized boaters.
* The need for more public access to Oregon's waterways.
* The need for consistent information including signs and maps.
