Nestled between the Coast Range and the Cascades, Corvallis is 85 miles south of Portland and 45 miles north of Eugene in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Only two hours from snow skiing and an hour from the surf of the Pacific, you may find you need not travel farther than the nearby surrounding area to satisfy your recreational desires. Corvallis and its outskirts boast more than 50 parks and designated preserves which include opportunities for tennis, racquetball, golf, swimming, fitness, softball, football, volleyball, karate, and horseback riding. Take a break and enjoy a play, art exhibit, festival, film, musical event, wildlife refuge or tour one of the many wineries and microbrewery pubs in and around beautiful Corvallis. Home of Oregon State University and seat of Benton County, you will find Corvallis is rich in history and culture. Corvallis also serves as an ideal basecamp for excellent backpacking, mountaineering, canoeing, camping, snow skiing, and bike touring. Regional attractions include the Alsea River Trout Hatchery, the Corvallis/Philomath Bike Path, the Irish Bend Covered Bridge, Newport, and Oregon's state capital, Salem.
