Damage Deposit

Lodge reservations require you to bring a $300 damage deposit check written to Linn County Treasure with you to your reservation. If I fail to do so I may become ineligible to utilize this facility. These will be shredded after your event if there are no issues with damage, clean up, or late departure and other rules and regulations are followed. You will be notified within 72 hours if there are any issues. 

Check-In Time: After 7 a.m. The Park Ranger will plan to meet with you at your selected checkin time.

All visitors (other than registered overnight campers) must depart the area by park closing time.

Refuse

Linn County Parks observe a “Carry In Carry Out” refuse policy. However, a limited amount of refuse will be removed by park staff as part of your reservation. All refuse must be placed in the containers provided. You will need to remove any refuse in excess of the capacity of these containers to carry out with you.

Pets

Pets are prohibited in lodges (with exception of service animals).

Clean Up

You are required to clean up the facility and grounds and return them to the condition you received them. Plan to have your facility cleaned and people departed prior to your scheduled checkout time.

Smoking

Linn County is a smoke-free environment. Smoking is prohibited in all buildings.

Directional Signs and Decorations

Temporary freestanding directional signs are allowed and not to be attached to park furniture, signposts or other facilities. Decorations are allowed as long as they are free standing or not affixed in a manner that would damage a facility or any painted walls (tape, tacks and staples can cause damage to walls - the use of a no-stick adhesive is recommended).

Wildlife

Wildlife in our county parks are protected under the law and should be treated with respect and observed at an appropriate distance. Anyone found harassing an animal will be asked to leave. Special care should be taken with decorations like balloons so that they do not “escape” as this is a wildlife hazard; be sure to pick up your other small trash like straws, straw wrappers, can rings, etc., that could also pose a hazard to animals.

Beer and Wine

Only beer with an alcohol content of 5% or less by weight and wine with an alcohol content of 17% or less by weight may be consumed in county parks. You may not drink these beverages on roads or in parking areas. Hard liquor and wine with alcohol content in excess of 17% by weight or other alcoholic liquors are NOT to be consumed in county parks. Keg beer is NOT allowed in cabins or campgrounds.

Music

Bands, disc jockeys and other amplified sources of sound are allowed. It is required that you work out the details for your amplified music in advance of your event with the park ranger. All sources of sound must be turned off by 9:00 PM. “Quiet hours” are observed in the parks between 9:00 PM and 9:00 AM.

Special Requests

Certain activities or items require that you request and obtain special permission from the Park Ranger in advance of your event. These include, but are not limited, to the following: horses (or horse activities), erection of special tents, inflatable play equipment, hog roasts, or carnival-type activities.
