Activities in Linn County

Visitors to Linn County parks enjoy many aspects of outdoor recreation!  From primitive camping to modern cabins; trails for people and pets (including horses); a modern shooting range, water activities ranging from canoe floats to fishing access, and much more. Indoor and outdoor educational programs take place at the nature center, known as the Wickiup Hill Learning Center.

Lodges, shelters, and camping cabins are available to reserve and rent.  Our family camping sites in our park campgrounds are "first-come, first-serve," but there are some reservable sites at Wanatee and Buffalo Creek Parks.  Visit the facilities tab for reservations.
