Ashland at a Glance
Surrounded by the Cascade and Siskiyou Mountains, Ashland is best known for the
annual Oregon
Shakespeare Festival that attracts thousands of visitors every year. In the
spring, the Ashland Gallery Association presents a two-day sensory feast of art,
wine, food and music called A
Taste of Ashland. The open-air Elizabethan Stage and the Angus
Bowmer Theatre feature a wide variety of performances, including musicals,
comedy and experimental theatre. Visitors walk and ride bikes on the Bear
Creek Bike and Nature Trail that winds around the river banks Ashland is built
on. The ScienceWorks
Hands-On Museum offers a fun and educational experience for the young and
young-at-heart. And, outdoor enthusiasts can try river rafting and jet boating
on the Rogue and Klamath Rivers and fishing for steelhead, salmon and trout on
the region's many mountain lakes. Throughout the ski season, visitors can enjoy
Mt.
Ashland, located nearby.
