Walterville

Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to the McKenzie River as Walterville. This unincorporated Lane County settlement sits east of Eugene, where the river emerges from the Cascade foothills toward the Willamette Valley. The Walterville Canal feeds a hydroelectric facility operated by Eugene Water & Electric Board, underlining the river’s enduring importance to the region’s energy and water system. Oregon Route 126 runs through the McKenzie corridor, making Walterville part of the road connection between Eugene and communities farther into the Cascades.
