It’s easy to get on the LTD bus and leave the city behind to wander through the woods or along the river.

Recovery efforts will continue for some time in areas damaged by 2020’s Holiday Farm Fire, but you’ll find many places to take in the beautiful river scenery, along with farms, country stores, restaurants, golfing, fishing, boating, rafting, hot springs, waterfalls, and lodging options. And don’t miss the Goodpasture Covered Bridge spanning the river—the state’s most photographed historic covered bridge.

Shop at national and local stores and enjoy a meal outdoors beneath the giant oak trees at Oakway Center. Or enjoy convenient shopping, dinner and a movie, and a walk along the Willamette River at Valley River Center.
