The Oregon Association of Rowers (OAR) was formed as a non-profit corporation in 1986 to further the sport of rowing in the upper Willamette Valley. OAR is a member of US Rowing. We row at Dexter Lake, fifteen miles southeast of Eugene, on Highway 58.
In 1994, in cooperation with the South Eugene High School Crew (now the OAR Junior Crew), we built a 2,800 square foot boathouse adjacent to the University of Oregon boathouse. The three programs share a 20′ x 80′ dock.
OAR offers recreational and competitive sculling and sweep programs for all ages and abilities. We offer storage space for privately owned boats.
The Covered Bridge Regatta, held each April, regularly attracts Junior, Collegiate, Open, and Masters crews from Washington, Western Oregon, and Northern California.

Hey fellow rowers. I will be visiting your town this Saturday through Monday for my daughters volleyball tournament and was wondering if I could possibly hook up with someone for a morning 2x row or else erg session or two. I will need to do something to burn calories as I will be gym bound in a folding chair for most of the weekend. Any help would be appreciated. I have been a rower for 10 years now, 5 years with Rivanna RC in Charlottesville, VA then the last 5 for Sammamish Rowing in the Seattle area. I am 6’3 195 pounds and am 48 years old in case there is a double option. We have still been getting out when it is not below 30 or windy on lake Sammamish but I am not sure if you all still hit the water this time of year. Either way I would love to hook up with some other rowers while I am there.

Not a problem; all replys come to me and I forward them on as appropriate. I’ve sent an email to Sally K, Dave H, and Dave L in hopes that they might help you out with rowing and/or erg locations.
Thanks Lisa. It turns out that my daughters team does not start their wave until 3:oo both Saturday and Sunday afternoon so I am free to get some cardio in both days if I am able to get linked up with you guys. If not I can always try and find a gym in the area that has some ergs. They are playing at Moshofsky Center and we are staying at the Holiday Inn Eugene. Regards, Jeff
Lisa, I have not heard anything so I guess no opportunity here? Packing tonight and heading down there tomorrow afternoon. If someone has an extra seat or erg or whatever maybe they can either call my cell at 206-391-4431 or email me at Jeff.schnelle@ferguson.com please. I sweep both sides but mostly scull. Thanks.
Sally sent you an email….not sure why you didn’t get it. I asked her to try again. But in any case, I’ve sent her your cell and I’m sure she will contact you.
