Elijah Bristow State
Park Elijah Bristow
State Park is located on the Willamette River, and is easily
to reach via State Highway 58 southeast of the Eugene. The
park was named for one of the first pioneer settlers in Lane
County and is comprised of 847 acres of scattered meadows,
woodlands and wetlands. Elijah Bristow has more than 10 miles
of trail for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. Part of
the trail system includes a portion of the Eugene to Pacific
Crest trail.
Salmon and steelhead trout abound during annual runs in one of
the few stretches of the lower Willamette with fast-moving
white water. Unique wildlife nesting and habitat areas fill
the park's islands and sloughs.
Channel Lake, a land-locked river channel that meanders
through the park, eventually empties back into the Willamette.
The lake and a short stretch of Lost Creek are home to a
diverse community of plants and wildlife. A dense canopy of
broadleaf and evergreen trees with a lush understory of shrubs
and herbaceous plants provides an excellent area for nature
study and outdoor education.
Osprey, great blue heron, bald eagles and beaver live in and
near the park. Elijah Bristow is also home to several
threatened species, including the Western pond turtle and the
Oregon chub. You'll find old-growth cottonwood, bigleaf maple,
western red cedar, Douglas fir and western hemlock along with
stands of Oregon ash and white oak.
Elijah Bristow has three reservable picnic areas complete with
picnic tables, water, electricity, restrooms and fire rings.
Area B has a large barbecue stand. There is also ample
opportunity for informal picnicking in other,
first-come/first-served areas of the park. A separate
equestrian staging area with tables, water electricity and a
restroom make Bristow a favorite destination with local riding
clubs.
