Cedar Creek Campground

## Overview

Nestled in the cool, quiet forest beside crystal clear Brice Creek, Lund Park
Campground is the perfect place for slow mornings drinking coffee, exciting
days exploring Brice Creek Trail across the bridge, and cozy nights being
lulled to sleep by the sounds of the creek. With numerous hiking trails nearby
and the scenic views along Brice Creek, Lund Park Campground makes an
excellent base camp for local adventures.

Lund Park Campground also offers its rich history to visitors. During the
early 1900s, the campground was once a stopover for miners traveling from
Cottage Grove to the Bohemia Mines. Lund Park used to have a post office,
hotel, dam, powerhouse, and several other buildings. Most of the structures
have since been reclaimed by the forest, but near campsite one you can still
see the remains of a concrete foundation beneath a thriving layer of moss and
lichen.

## Recreation

There are several wonderful hiking trails near Lund Park Campground.

Brice Creek Trail: 5.7 miles - On the west side of the campground, cross a
trail bridge to the north side of Brice Creek and follow the trail. Lund Park
Campground sits about 3 miles from the West Brice Trailhead and about 2 miles
from the East Brice Trailhead. Brice Creek Trail follows Brice Creek through a
scenic, rocky canyon. The creek’s numerous small waterfalls and pools make it
a popular place to picnic and sunbathe on a hot summer afternoon, while old-
growth forests, rocky shores, and mossy cliffs make the trail an appealing
hike during the remaining seasons. Travel in an upstream (East) direction for
the best views of the creek. While experienced mountain bikers and trail
runners are often encountered along this trail, motorized use is prohibited.

Upper and Lower Trestle Falls: 0.7-3.3 miles - At the eastern end of Brice
Creek Trail are two adjoining trails accessing the waterfalls of Trestle
Creek. The lower falls can be reached using 0.25-mile, out-and-back Trestle
Creek Trail #1403C and the upper falls can be reached using Upper Trestle
Creek Trail #1403D, a 2.6-mile, more difficult loop that travels beneath a
waterfall.

Adams Mountain Way Trail: 3.6 miles - Adams Mountain Trail is a multi-use
trail that predominantly follows steep spur ridgeline and dense forest.
Huckleberry bushes and wild strawberry patches can be spotted on the forest
floor as you hike along, while the canopy above occasionally opens up for a
view of neighboring peaks. The Adams Mountain Trail has a rich history. Used
by early miners traveling from Lund Park to Bohemia City to access Knott
Trail, it was also known as a "way trail” and used as a direct "way" to patrol
the forest for fires. These "way trails" were direct routes to ridgeline
trails and fire lookouts and typically have steep grades.

Marten Flume Trail: 0.75 miles - A short loop connected to the Adams Mountain
Way Trail, the Marten Flume Trail is a quick yet challenging hike. Steep
trails and quick changes in elevation make this trip difficult but rewarding
with scenic views of Marten Flume Creek and rocky forest lands.

## Facilities

Lund Park Campground facilities include picnic tables, fire rings, two vault
toilets, and garbage disposal. There is no running water or RV hookups
available.

Lund Park Campground has a small parking lot on the west end for day use or
additional campsite parking. Additional vehicles cost an extra $5 per night.

Each campsite includes one parking space, a picnic table, and a fire ring with
an attached grill. There are two vault toilets on either end of the campground
and several garbage cans along the main road.

## Natural Features

Brice Creek runs along the north side of the campground and can be accessed by
many trails. The creek’s numerous small waterfalls and pools make it a popular
place to picnic and sunbathe on a hot summer afternoon, while old-growth
forests, rocky shores, and mossy cliffs make the trail an appealing hike
during the remaining seasons. The Brice Creek Trail follows the creek across
the bridge on the west side of the campground. There are several other hiking
trails nearby, including Martin Flume Trail.

There are numerous waterfalls along Brice Creek and in the surrounding hills.
Notable waterfalls include Upper and Lower Trestle Creek Falls.

There is also a large meadow near the parking lot that provides a wonderful
habitat for butterflies and offers the opportunity for bird watching.

Hobo Camp Campground

## Overview

Rujada Day Use Picnic Area is set along the banks of Layng Creek, with a
large, open grassy area amidst a scattering of Douglas fir. Rujada is a
perfect setting for family reunions, parties or group getaways.

## Recreation

In addition to being a prime location for hiking and biking in summer and
early fall. The large grassy field is perfect for group activities or sports,
and a playground and horseshoe pit are also provided on-site.  
  
Hikers will enjoy a moderately challenging hike on Swordfern Trail, leaving
from the historic Civilian Conservation Corps Campground Register booth,
located in the Rujada Picnic Area. The trail parallels the south side of Layng
Creek, traveling through a stand of second growth Douglas fir and lush
swordfern understory, then climbs to an abandoned logging road. Eventually it
loops back to the Rujada Picnic area, or continues on the logging road and
back into the camping loop.  
  
In autumn, visitors will be treated to the brilliant fall colors of the
hardwood trees along Layng Creek.

## Facilities

This day use area has two reservable picnic sites. Each site can accommodate
up to 30 people, and groups of up to 60 may reserve both sites. The sites are
equipped with picnic tables and grills. Flush toilets and drinking water are
provided.

## Natural Features

Visitors to Umpqua National Forest are often taken aback by the unique
landscapes of southwestern Oregon. Explosive geologic events have shaped the
distinctive landscape on the nearly 1 million-acre forest, and provide
spectacular scenery as well as an abundance of natural and cultural resources.
The translation of the word, "Umpqua," meaning "thundering waters," defines
the area. High mountain lakes, heart-stopping rapids, peaceful ponds and
thundering waterfalls, including the 272-foot Watson Falls on the North Umpqua
Highway, provide plenty of pastimes for visitors. Diverse ecosystems support a
wide range of habitat for wildlife common to the area. From eagles and owls,
to salamanders and salmon, these species, along with many others, depend on
surrounding undeveloped wilderness, clean streams and diverse forests to live.

## Nearby Attractions

Nearby are three spectacular waterfall trails. Spirit Falls is a short
0.4-mile, more difficult hike to a 60’ waterfall. Moon Falls is an easy,
0.5-mile hike to a 125’ cascading waterfall. Pinard Falls is a 0.6-mile, more
difficult hike to a 105’ waterfall. All three hikes are within 10 miles of the
campground and can be done within a single day. Visitors enjoy taking a picnic
lunch and eating at the base of Moon Falls at a picnic table made and
installed by a modern day Conservation Corps crew.

"Fairview" is something of a misnomer, as the 53-foot tall Fairview Peak
Lookout Tower sports an awe-inspiring 360 degree view with a vista unlike any
west of the Cascade Range. On a clear day, visitors can see north to Mount
Hood, south to Crater Lake and Mount McLoughlin, and east to many prominent
peaks in the Cascade Range.

The 15' x 15' one-room cabin is furnished with a futon, a table with chairs, a
propane heater, a cook stove, an oven and a small refrigerator. No cooking
utensils are provided). Near the tower is a fire ring as well as a vault
toilet. There is no water on site; visitors must bring plenty for drinking,
cooking, and washing. There is no electricity.

  * **Availability:**  Fairview Peak Lookout Tower will be used as an active fire lookout in summer 2022 and will be unavailable for reservation. It is unknown at this time when the tower will reopen for public use.
  * **Price and Capacity:** $50 per night per group, with a maximum of four occupants. Fees are used directly for the maintenance and preservation of the lookout.
  * **Reservations:**  When reservations are available, they must at least two days in advance through Recreation.gov. The maximum-length stay is three consecutive nights.

## History

The Fairview Peak site was historically occupied as a fire lookout since the
1920s. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, the tower was used as an Air
Force "gap filler" radar station. Having a range of around sixty-five miles,
these radars were placed in areas where it was thought enemy aircraft could
fly low to avoid detection by the lower-range radars of the permanent and
mobile radar networks. Gap-filler radar deployment peaked in December 1960 at
131 sites throughout the continental United States. Because the introduction
of gap-filler radars alleviated the need for civilians to scan the skies for
enemy bombers, the ADC disestablished the Ground Observance Corps on January
31, 1959. The tower continued as a gap-filler radar station until 1964.

Today, Fairview Peak is host to private radio towers and Fairview Peak
Lookout. While aerial surveillance has replaced the need for continual summer
lookout staffing, the lookout tower is often staffed during high fire danger,
frequently during the months of August and September.

Fairview Peak is located within the Slide Patented Mining Claim and is private
property. However, the side of the mountain summit where the lookout tower is
located is Forest Service property.

While aerial surveillance has replaced the need for continual summer lookout staffing, the lookout tower is often staffed during high fire danger, frequently during the months of August and September.</p><p>Fairview Peak is located within the Slide Patented Mining Claim and is private property. However, the side of the mountain summit where the lookout tower is located is Forest Service property.</p>

Fairview Peak Lookout

## Overview

Musick Guard Station is located in a remote setting in southwestern Oregon,
offering visitors a glimpse into a historic mining community in Umpqua
National Forest. Situated atop a narrow forested ridge between Fairview Peak
and Grouse Mountain, the guard station and outbuildings were constructed by
the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 to provide fire protection to the
Bohemia Mining district. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places,
Musick Guard Station became an important public contact point and
administrative center for the Forest Service. Later it was used as summer
barracks for trail crews and firefighting crews. The Guard Station was named
after the nearby Musick Mine, a major gold producing mine in the late 1800s
and early 1900s. Today the guard station continues to offer visitors a unique
lodging experience and plenty of opportunities for relaxation and recreation.
This site is located in National Forest System lands. These sites are popular
with the recreating public so you may find visitors interested in the area and
the facilities. While you do not have to let them inside the facility they are
allowed to be in the area.

## Recreation

For hiking and sightseeing, the nearby Bohemia Mountain Trail leads up a steep
grade to the rocky summit of Bohemia Mountain, the highest point on the
Cottage Grove Ranger District. Just east of the summit along a ridgeline
hikers will be treated to dramatic views of the Cascade mountains and a
wildflowers blooming along rocky outcrops and bluffs in late June through
early August. For history buffs and fortune seekers, Musick Mine, one of the
most productive gold mines in the district during the late 1800s and into the
early 1900s, is a point of interest not to be overlooked. The area is named
after James "Bohemia" Johnson, a mountaineer and prospector, who discovered
gold-bearing quartz in 1863. The discovery created much short-lived excitement
in the valley, but settlers soon realized the gold had to be extracted from
the rock by machinery, not panned from the many streambeds, and by 1910 most
of the ore had been removed. Some mining continues today.

## Facilities

The main floor of the two-story guard station features a central room with an
adjoining kitchen and bedroom. The upstairs bunkroom provides additional
sleeping quarters. It is furnished with two double wooden platform beds and
four bunk beds without mattresses, a table with chairs, a wood stove for heat,
and wood cook stove and oven. Outside, a picnic table, campfire ring, and
vault toilet are provided. An area for pitching a tent is also on site.  
  
There is no refrigerator, water or electricity available at the site. Guests
must bring water necessary for drinking, cooking and washing. Guests must also
bring a lantern or other reliable light source, cooking utensils, sleeping
bags, sleeping pads, towels, dish soap, matches, cooking gear, toilet paper,
first aid kit and garbage bags. Firewood may be available, however the supply
cannot be guaranteed, and guests are encouraged to bring their own.

## Natural Features

Musick Guard Station is surrounded by rugged summits up to 6,000 feet in
elevation, and steep, heavily forested slopes of fir, spruce and hemlock.  
  
Nearby Fairview Peak, located in the heart of the Bohemia Mining District at
an elevation of 5,933 feet, provides an excellent panoramic view of the
surrounding area. On a clear day, the Cascade Range peaks can be viewed from
Mt. Hood to the north and Mount McLoughlin to the south.  
  
Large mammals such as elk, deer, black bear, and cougar, as well as the
smaller residents like squirrels, fox, raccoons and bats, are supported by the
area's diverse forest habitats.
