Lynx Hollow Park

Creswell, Oregon

(If you're looking for directions, go over there to the left and click on 'Directions') 

We've been at our park for five years now, working with the Oregon State Parks Department through an Adopt-a-Park agreement. All of our work is paying off in a beautiful, lush site with plenty of room for camping and revelry.

We have a lovely and charming site, but it does have a few things that you should be aware of. There has been poison oak found in various places. We’ve worked on removing it, but it’s pesky and wily, so please keep an eye out when walking in less tamed areas of the site. There are also downed blackberry canes along with some uneven ground and normal tripping hazards. Appropriate footwear and reasonable caution will make your ambulatory adventures a bit more safe.
 
There are several areas that, for safety reasons, are strictly off-limits: ALL the ponds are of limits to swimming and fishing, as the turtles don’t really enjoy our company, and the water quality is kind of icky, too. Persons found swimming will immediately assumed to be out of their minds, and will be asked to leave the event. 

We do have close neighbors at this site so please be aware of that, and be your usual polite selves. If you come to a fence, or to an obvious property boundary, then you are at the edge of our world, and should attempt to not drop off of it. That would be trespassing, and we don’t do that in the SCA.

Please be aware that many of the standing trees are dead and extremely rotten. We call them Denmark. (Get it? Something rotten in the state of Denmark?) There are limbs and branches that may break and fall if climbed upon. Please stay out of your tree (or better yet, all standing trees) whether they appear alive or dead.

While preparing the site for Egils, deer, osprey and other cool animals, like raptors, coyote, quail, pheasants, raccoons, nutria and garter snakes have been sighted. Please be respectful of all wildlife you may encounter. That goes for pirates, too. They're fun. Be respectful.

Be advised that there will be no power and no running water source available on-site this year (Like there ever was? Nope. Never--). There will be a giant water truck provided for drinking water. Not shower water. Not hair washing water. Drinking water.            
                     
Some very energetic people have put in many hours of work on the site improvements--and they're going to get great camping sites and points in the Three Pillars competition. PLEASE remember this site is in the process of being developed and be thankful for all the amazing changes that have taken place in the last couple of years! And if you've read all this, and have gotten this far, you deserve a prize. Find Fearga on site and ask her about it!
