About Our Communities

Junction City and Harrisburg are just 4 miles apart, so both are conveniently located within easy driving distance of many recreational opportunities for families. Drift boating, water skiing, sailing, fishing, camping and hiking opportunities are all within 30 minutes; and our area has wonderful biking roads for both avid bicyclist and the weekend enthusiast. Within an hour and a half the beautiful Oregon coast awaits featuring huge dunes and magnificent headlands; and 2 to 3 hours away are fine snow parks for downhill and cross country skiing.
