Located on seven acres just west of Reed College, Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden features more than 2,500 rhododendrons, azaleas, and companion plants. Spring-fed Crystal Springs Lake surrounds much of the garden, attracting many species of birds and waterfowl. The winding paths and wooded knolls provide good places to get away and have personal time, if you want. The one drawback is the admission charge. Admission is free to all from Labor Day through February. A $3 admission fee is charged between 10:00am-6:00pm, Thursday through Monday, March through Labor Day.� And sometimes there’s simply no one at the gate!
