VISIT ASHLAND, OREGON

GATEWAY TO THE NORTHWEST

Ashland is the gateway to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When people think of Ashland, they of course think Shakespeare. However there are so many other cultural and scenic attributes: from wineries, to galleries, to whitewater rafting, skiing and ice skating in Lithia Park in winter, you'll find it all here.

We are proud to have Southern Oregon University, world class theater, great dining, shopping and lodging options, not to mention the host of very talented artists whose works populate our galleries.

GREAT FOR FAMILIES

Ashland is a great place for families to come and play. There is a multitude of outdoor activities- for kids and adults there is hiking and biking on the many trails that surround the town, rafting down the Rogue and Klamath Rivers, and playing at the Science Works Hands-on Museum. All of these things can be done as a family before the evening play!

DEDICATED SMALL-TOWN COMMUNITY

Ashland, Oregon is a town of just over 20,000 people. People are committed here, whether it's to politics, culture, the environment, education or to social and service organizations.
