Washburne State Wayside

Resting on the border between Lane and Benton Counties, this wayside makes a great picnic spot (especially if you've decided to travel through the Willamette Valley along Hwy 99W instead of the interstate). This is a well-shaded park thanks to the Douglas fir trees. Several interpretive signs relate the story of the Applegate Trail, a historic route that stretched through Oregon from the south. A nature trail takes you through grove.
