building just north of the old locomotive (parking, water, phone,
restrooms). Head easterly following the river upstream.
0.4 - Cross Stewart Park Drive (Watch out for cars; north bound
traffic does not have to stop. Be sure to miss the post in the
middle of the Bike Path).

following "Caution Steep Hill" sign.
0.9 - Turn right (southerly) under I-5 bridge over South Umpqua
River.

southerly along I-5 freeway.

freeway, and continue toward Harvard Blvd.
1.3 - Arrive at Harvard Blvd. Continue left (easterly) on
sidewalk facing west-bound traffic.

Kendall Street. Turn right on Kendall. Bike Path ends, you now
share the road with cars.

Portland, going forward and to the right to get onto Frear

until the road is free from traffic before crossing.

pleasant way of going to the fairgrounds, allowing you to bypass
freeway travel.
