Lane County Attractions
Where other than Lane County, Oregon could you explore a haunted light house, meet a sea lion in his home, tour a vineyard, cross 19 picturesque covered bridges, take in a baseball game, go ice skating, and climb a mountain in a single day?
It takes only four hours to drive from the spectacular Oregon beaches to our majestic mountains, but we recommend taking your time.

home of Stellar Sea Lions. The Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area
