Carpenter Bypass Trail System

The lake and its shoreline set in the gently rolling hills of the Willamette
Valley, is used for boating, swimming, water skiing, fishing, picnicking and
camping. The Cottage Grove Dam, completed in 1942, stores up to 33,000 acre-
feet of water and provides valuable flood control as well as irrigation,
recreation and improved navigation downstream. The area is also managed to
provide habitat for a wide variety of wildlife species, including waterfowl,
blacktail deer, upland game birds, songbirds, bald eagles, osprey and many
other species.

Pine Meadows Campground

This 14-mile, paved, multi-use National Recreation Trail follows the route of
the now-abandoned Oregon Pacific & Eastern Railroad line, along the scenic
shores of the Row (rhymes with 'cow') River and Dorena Reservoir. There are
many trailheads and places to stop and enjoy views of Dorena Lake and the
surrounding farm country. Several quaint, covered bridges are located nearby,
as is the historic Bohemia Mining Area, which features remnants of late 1800s
gold mines. The trestle bridge at Harms Park is one of several locations
immortalized on the silver screen. Movies filmed along the railway include
'Stand By Me' with River Phoenix, 'Emperor of the North' with Ernest
Borginine, and, in 1926, 'The General' with Buster Keaton.

## Know Before You Go:

  * No camping is allowed along the trail.
  * No food or water is available on the trail. Several general stores are located in Cottage Grove, Dorena (across Row River Road from the trail), and Culp Creek (0.25 mile east on Row River Road).
  * Parking and restroom facilities are located at 2- to 3-mile intervals along the trail.
  * This Day Use area is open daily from dawn to dusk. 
  * Visitors should not enter old mine tunnels, which are both hazardous and located on private property.

## Point of Interest:

The Mosby Creek Covered Bridge, located just off the trail, is a white bridge
built in 1920. Extensive restoration work was completed in 1990. Row Point
survives as a remnant of a native prairie community, featuring showy displays
of wildflowers during spring.
