Low Pass, Oregon


Low Pass is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States, on the Long Tom River, east of Blachly and west of Cheshire.
The settlement is centered on a small pullout on Oregon Route 36 with a gas station/convenience store and a diner that serves as an unofficial community center for rural residents.
The nearest recycling & waste facility is the Low Pass Transfer Station
The settlement is named for its location on a slight rise approaching the foothills of the Coast Range mountains, in contrast to the nearby mountain pass High Pass. Much of the land west of Low Pass consists of old-growth forest owned by the Bureau of Land Management.
The community has also been known as "Long Tom Station" after the nearby river; the name Low Pass was made official by a United States Board on Geographic Names decision of 1985.
