Long and storied history
Timber Linn Memorial Park, site of
the lake, is east of Interstate 5 between
Highway 20 and the Linn County Fair
and Expo Center.
At 100-and-plus-a-sliver acres, it’s
the largest fully developed park under
the supervision of the Albany Parks &
Recreation Department.
According to a 2018 article about the
park’s history by Cathy Ingalls, then a
member of the Albany Regional Mu-
seum Board, “Timber Linn Park” was
the top pick in a naming contest in 1958.
It earned the winner, Roberta Corbin,
a whopping $25 savings bond.
The name derives from the park and
lake being the site, until it died out in
2000, of the Albany Timber Carnival.
Both the naming contest and the annual
Independence Day carnival were spon-
sored by the Albany Jaycees.

HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK
Trucks with trout: The lake level is
rising at Detroit east of Salem on High-
way 22, and the first stocking of rain-
bow trout, 4,000 “pounders” averaging
about 12 inches, is scheduled the week
of April 18 through 22.
As always, stocking is dependent on
available fish and trucks as well as wa-
ter, weather and road conditions.

But the traditional opener for the
statewide spring wild-turkey hunting
season opened on April 15.
The limit is one male turkey a day,
three a season. Gobblers must have a

stringy feathers coming out of the
breast.
