Winter is here, and the rains have come, but the winter issue of Eugene Magazine is concerned in large with water of another sort: lakes. Regular contributor Lance Sparks profiles Oregon pioneer Peter Britt, an adventurous pioneering spirit with enough life experiences for any five modern Oregonians. Besides his career as the first commercial vintner in the Oregon Territory, Britt is also noteworthy for snapping the first photograph of Crater Lake, the deepest body of water in the nation, according to our Great Escapes writer Bob Woodward, who takes us to the iconic lake for a snowshoeing and skiing adventure. From deepest in the nation to deepest in the world, Mikael Krummel introduces us to Lake Baikal in Siberia, and to Irkutsk, Eugene’s sister city in Russia.
Our aquatic coverage continues with Jennifer Snelling’s report on her family’s trips to Odell Lake, a place where visitors can sample fare as charmingly rustic as hand-toasted marshmallows, or as surprisingly refined as a seven-course dinner.
We also have water in another form: frozen, as in ice rinks. One of our Health & Wellness articles focuses on hockey in Eugene, and our own team, The Generals. So go ahead, dive in! |
