Confirmed from Amazon Headwaters Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring forested hiking trails, including a steep bike trail, and wildlife.
What runners say about Amazon Headwaters Park
“Beautiful quiet place to hike, we only saw one other couple hiking the entire time we were there, easy hike and beautiful scenery”
I've been here and it's beautiful, a lot of poison oak so if your allergic I'd stay on the trail, also the other reviews show a picture of a waterfall, I haven't seen one unless I'm looking in the wrong area .
Across from the Raptor Center - several trails availble. We went "left ". A splended composite of great forest sights, a nice exercising walk and a great example of what can be found in Eugene OR.
Enjoying the paths less traveled which is becoming more tricky with the pandemic. Glad we are out, safely, getting a dose of nature!
Very nice well kept trail system. Good for kids and adults. It is a beautiful shaded area and nice packed gravel to walk on
