Things To Do

Lithia Park

Gorgeous and expansive park in downtown Ashland, designed by the same person who designed Golden Gate Park in San Francisco! There is a beautiful creek running throughout, a playground, duck ponds, a Japanese garden, and hiking trails (including to a swimming reservoir) at the top end of the park.

Oregon Shakespeare Festival

Oregon Cabaret Theatre

Musical theater! Seats are at tables and you can order drinks, dinner before the show, or dessert at intermission.

Britt Music & Arts Festival

Crater Lake National Park

About two hours from Ashland! The trail down to the lake will be closed for renovations, but the views and hiking around the rim are breathtaking. Check snow levels in June (yes, there is still snow remaining in June) to see what's accessible.

Rogue River

The Rogue River Gorge is beautiful (it was so temping to say gorgeous), and there is an easy trail along the river for as long as you want to hike. You can also rent rafts or inflatable kayaks for half- or full-day rafting, with or without guides! Shady Cove is a mellow rafting area, and Galice has a bit more white water.

Rogue Theater Company

ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum

Grizzly Peak Trailhead

A moderately strenuous hike with great views!

Wagner Butte TrailHead

A more challenging hike with lush green meadows and an incredible 360-degree view at the top. This is also where Krys proposed to Abby :)

Acid Castle Boulders Trailhead

An easy walk (once you get up Strawberry Lane) with nice views of Ashland.

Beautiful mountain lake with a restaurant and bar. There are also paddle crafts available for rent!
