Spencer Butte Park

Eugene, United States of America

Spencer Butte Park

Spencer Butte is a prominent landmark in Lane County, Oregon, United States, described in the National Geodetic Survey as "a prominent timbered butte with a bare rocky summit" on the southern edge of Eugene, with an elevation of 2,058 feet (627 m). Spencer Butte is accessible from Spencer Butte Park

and has several hiking trails to the summit. The tree cover on the butte is predominantly Douglas fir; however, the butte is now treeless at its summit. The butte is the tallest point visible when looking south from downtown Eugene. A lone Douglas Fir stood on the top of the Butte until February of 2021 when a vandal cut it down.
