Millrace

Discovering Eugene’s Hidden Millrace – Walk

UPCOMING – Eugene’s Millrace is the historic center of Eugene’s industrial beginnings, roughly 175 years ago. Today, much of the millrace has been paved over, and what remains is often overlooked by passers-by. We will have a closer look using old maps, historic photos, and legwork.

Hello!
I help people explore the outdoors. I enjoy creating engaging science and nature-based programs in the Pacific Northwest for wildlife and lifelong learning organizations. This site is a log of the group trips I've led, and some other explores.
