Alderwood State Wayside, State park in Lane County, Oregon.
Alderwood State Wayside spans 76 acres along Highway 36, featuring old Douglas firs, Pacific dogwoods, and bigleaf maples next to the Long Tom River.
Lane County transferred the land to Oregon State Parks in 1931, followed by the Civilian Conservation Corps developing picnic facilities around 1935.
The park presents the Pacific Northwest forest ecosystem where visitors observe kingfishers and cutthroat trout in their natural environment.
The day-use area includes vault toilets, picnic tables, fishing spots along the river, and hiking trails that remain accessible throughout all seasons.
During spring, the forest floor displays yellow violets, trillium, and bleeding hearts among the dense canopy of evergreen and deciduous trees.
