Lyons, OR

Here is a Linn County Campground to check out the next time you want a weekend away or just a quick picnic with the friends and family. Located in Lyons on at the end of 13th St., John Neal Memorial Park is the perfect spot to fish, launch a boat or catch frogs in the wetland ponds. The North Santiam River provides a scenic north border for the park and several ponds attract beaver, many varieties of birds and other wildlife.
