Glassbar Island Volunteers

This web site is now our archive of who we are, what we have done and Glassbar property location and description information. See our Facebook site for current activities information.

Donations - with a little help from viewers like you, we can further expand our volunteer effort on the property. We are currently seeking non-profit 501(c)(3) status.

Important Announcement: The Lane County property outlined in red on the map below is now closed to public access. Be aware that Lane County Waste Management has the authority to give out citations to people who trespass on their property.

Effective June 10, 2011, Lane County's Waste Management organization which oversees the county property adjacent to the State owned Glassbar property has closed the county property, shown outlined in red on the map below, to all public access.

The area outlined in red on the map is now closed to public access. This includes:

• the gravel road behind the locked gate with the “No Trespassing” sign on it which is after the closed yellow gate by the road

• all the ponds within the red outlined area on the map are closed to public access

• the seating area by one of the ponds, known as “Sunset Vista” and the adjacent county property within the red outline on the map are also closed to public access

The trail marked in green from the parking lot to the State owned Glassbar property is now the only Lane County approved way across their property to get to the State’s Glassbar property.

Please remember that the picnic table area, the 'green grass' beach area by the old Wildish fence and the whole of Glassbar Island are the 'clothing optional areas' of the State Park property so keep your pants on (wink) while on the 'legal' trail shown on the map below.

The property is a unique clothing optional place for all to enjoy.

Before visiting the property, take a look at the OPRD regulations and the Glassbar Island Volunteers suggested guidelines.

The property is located just south of Springfield, OR at the confluence of the Middle and Coast Forks of the Willamette
River. See the Tour Page for detailed information. See the Map page for driving directions and bus information.

What is the weather like at the park today and can I cross to the island?

Important parking information!

DO NOT BLOCK THE GATE. We can not stress this enough. We have been informed that the county will issue tickets to anyone blocking the gate. Don't be one of the unlucky ones. You are allowed to park in the old BRING Recycling parking lot near the railroad overpass. Also please remember if you park along the road to leave 3 feet between your vehicle and the white line along the side of the road. This is for your safety!

Camping is not allowed on either Glassbar Island (the property belongs to the OPRD of the State of Oregon) or the surrounding property (between Glassbar Island and the road, Franklin Blvd. East) which is owned by Lane County.

Please click here for more information about the Lane County Code on nudity. Keep in mind that the property is owned by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

The rest of the web site beyond this page contains nudity.

Glassbar Island Volunteers is not liable for any loss or personal injuries which occur at the property. Use at your own risk. There are no life guards on the property so enter the water at your own risk.
