Mount Pisgah Arboretum

Mount Pisgah Arboretum is a botanical garden near Eugene that spans roughly 200 acres with river trails, evergreen forests, oak savanna, meadows, and wetlands along the Willamette River. The grounds feature multiple natural habitats connected by walking paths.

The arboretum was founded in 1973 when Friends of Mount Pisgah Arboretum started building trails and bridges across the land. Early efforts focused on removing non-native plants to restore the natural habitat and make the space accessible to visitors.

The place draws nature lovers who walk the trails and watch birds throughout the year. Visitors come to experience different landscapes and learn about native plants in their natural settings.

The grounds have about 7 miles of walking paths with numerous bridges connecting different habitats. The trails are well maintained and allow visitors to explore at their own pace.

The site preserves a rare section of oak savanna, a habitat that has nearly disappeared from Oregon. This preservation makes the place significant for understanding the region's original landscape.
