Row River National Recreation Trail, Rail trail in Cottage Grove, Oregon, US.

The Row River National Recreation Trail is a paved path in southern Oregon that follows a former railway corridor alongside the Row River and the Dorena Reservoir. It connects several small communities around Cottage Grove and stays nearly flat for its entire length, making it easy to travel by foot or by bike.

The rail line was built to serve gold and silver mining in the Bohemia mining district up the Row River. The mines were closing by the time the line was complete, but old-growth timber logging kept it busy. The Oregon Pacific & Eastern Railway abandoned the line in 1994, and a timber sale default led the Bureau of Land Management to take the corridor in exchange for payment.

The trail's name comes from the Row River, and the route passes three historic covered bridges: Mosby Creek (1920), Currin (1925) and Dorena (1949). The corridor also crosses country used in films, including Buster Keaton's 1926 The General, 1974's Emperor of the North and 1986's Stand by Me.

The trail runs 16.2 miles (26.1 km) between Cottage Grove and Culp Creek, following the Row River past Dorena Lake and giving access to Umpqua National Forest trails. Plan a one-way trip by leaving a vehicle at each end, or turn back at any point. The route is a converted rail corridor, so gradients stay gentle for walkers and cyclists.

Three films shot along the rail corridor: Buster Keaton's The General (1926), Emperor of the North with Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine (1974), and Stand by Me with Kiefer Sutherland and River Phoenix (1986). The line itself was abandoned by the Oregon Pacific & Eastern Railway in 1994.
