The Simpsons Springfield Mural

Highlight • Monument

Inaugurated on August 25, 2014, in partnership with The Simpsons' creator Matt Groening. It celebrates Groening's Oregon origins and Springfield link. The hints are all there: The rivalry with its neighboring city, the butte that shares a name with a certain elementary principal, and more!

Georgia Pacific Natural Area

Highlight • Natural

Georgia Pacific Natural Area offers more than a mile of waterfront along Middle Fork Willamette River, with a multi-use trail that's good for cycling, but if you wander off onto the soft-surface trails you'll have a hard time with a road bike. Keep an eye out for western pond turtles here.
