Amazon Creek is a stream that runs through southeastern and western Eugene, Oregon, United States.
The creek bed has been altered from the foot of Spencer Butte so it flows north from Martin Street through Amazon Park in a channel.
[1] It collects water from 21 square miles of urban landscapes and storm drains, providing flood control, wildlife habitat, and recreation.
[4] In 1946, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers widened, deepened, and realigned the creek from Hilyard Street to Fern Ridge Reservoir in a diversion canal as a means of controlling floodwaters in the area.
[3] The lower reach of Amazon Creek from Bailey Hill Road to the Coos Bay Rail Link (former Southern Pacific Railroad) rail line has been the subject of current restoration efforts to widen the creek and plant native species along the banks.
