Cottage Grove sits on the Coast Fork Willamette River in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where the lowland corridor meets wooded foothills of the Cascade Range. Often called Oregon’s Covered Bridge Capital, the town and its surroundings preserve several historic timber bridges, including the Chambers Railroad Bridge, a former rail crossing now adapted for pedestrians and cyclists. Downtown’s older commercial streets recall Cottage Grove’s role as a service centre for the nearby Bohemia mining district. The city also lies on the Covered Bridges Scenic Bikeway, a signed cycling route through Lane County.
