McDonald-Dunn Research Forest is located a short 15 minute drive N of the OSU campus. Because of its proximity to campus, this Forest is extensively used for university instruction & research. Four distinct forest management themes, even-aged, two-storied & uneven-aged, plus reserved old-growth stands, allow side-by-side comparisons of the effects of implementing these themes. The Forest's non-motorized recreation opportunities in close proximity to the Corvallis community result in over 175,000 non-motorized recreation visits each year.
Go to the McDonald-Dunn Forest website to download different hikes. (There are all different level hikes)

Franklin Square is the oldest public park in Corvallis, donated to the city by Beniah R. & Addie Job in 1889 to be used “for all time to come as a public park”. The Jobs prioritized beautification of the community, and the planting of trees & shrubs commenced at once. Volunteers cared for these early plantings, and the park in general, by hand & with horse-drawn implements. The trees now standing are large & magnificent specimens. For at least 46 years, there has been a play structure for children in the park.

In August 2013 The Majestic Theatre turned 100 years old. The venerable vaudeville house has seen many incarnations over the decades before being purchased by the City of Corvallis in 1985 at the behest of the community. Many organizations were involved in the lobby to purchase the building & raise operating funds. The Majestic's focus is on establishing The Majestic as the flagship cultural space for the performing and contemporary arts in downtown Corvallis, serving the City and surrounding counties.
