点评:On a sunny January day we wanted to take a local hike to get some sunshine. Finley Wildlife Refuge is only about 20 minutes south of Corvallis down Hwy 99. After living in the Willamette Valley all my life I had never visited this great place! It's a bird watching area/nature walk with many different trails and road pull outs. The trails are all very well maintained and people here are respectful of others and the environment. Some of the trails are closed during the winter so we will definitely go back in the spring or summer. We walked the Woodpecker trail which is a nice, easy trail that is around 1 mile long. There's a small parking area and pit toilets. There's a beautiful view looking East towards the Three Sisters halfway up the rail. We also visited the Prairie Lookout where we saw a Red tail Hawk. This is not a place for trail running. There is no fee to visit and you leave feeling very peaceful and serene. You can enjoy the refuge from your car as well if you don't feel like hiking.
