The Willamette Valley is the
heart of Oregon’s agriculture
and wine country. Roadside
stands and local farmers’
markets are scattered
throughout the region’s
many historic towns. The flat
terrain draws cyclists and
hikers to various back roads,
trails and paved paths.
Explore the valley… by bike,
foot, or car.
