The Mill Race Path is not far from home, so sometimes I have time to walk there when I don't have time to go anywhere else. This new Willamalane Park District path is turning out to be a popular route for a good number of bike riders and walkers. Scenes like this one contribute to a very pleasant walk.

Here is what Willamalane Park and Recreation District has to say about its paths and trails: "The views from Willamalane’s 29 miles of biking and walking trails range from riverside vistas to wildflower-studded woodlands. The Middle Fork and Mill Race paths allow people to travel from Clearwater Park in the east all the way to downtown Springfield. On-street connections pave the way to Eugene’s network of paths. In addition to the trails shown here, Lively Park features a nature walk through the woods, and Willamalane is in the process of building trails at Thurston Hills Natural Area. Keep an eye out as you wander along, and you just might spy a spotted towhee, rough-skinned newt or Western pond turtle." -

I would love to walk all 29 miles of the paths and trails, perhaps I could with enough time. Hmmm, it would have to be a good amount of time. :)
