Odlin Park
Odlin park on Lopez Island was constructed by the Civilian Conserveration Corps
during the 1930s.
By 1976, with the park becoming a popular recreation destination for local
citizens and tourists, the San Juan County Park Board recognized the need
for park renovation and upgrade.
In 2009 San Juan County won a grant which, with additional financing approved by
the County Council in 2010, has made the renovation possible.

Project Planning & Design
This project will create a new group campground, enlarge the day use area by the shore, and improve access to the existing campground, while improving ecological processes in the park.
The design goal is to provide more recreational opportunities for local residents and visitors while preserving function of the wetlands and old growth forest within the park's boundaries.
The main campground roadway will be moved further away from the shoreline,
the drinking water system will be improved and extended, and
additional restroom facilities will be added. The trees which will be cut
to accommodate the group campground road will be used within the park.
The project is scheduled to begin during 2011 and completed in 2012.
 Odlin Park was
designated by an act of Congress in 1926. Its 188 acres
includes old growth forest, wetlands and shoreline.
