Here are some questions and answers regarding the Glassbar Island Volunteers and the Glassbar Island property.

A: Glassbar Island Volunteers in association with the NW chapter of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR-Northwest) , SOLV Adopt-A-River (a statewide program that assists volunteers clean up, preserve and protect Oregon waterways) and in cooperation with the Oregon State Parks Department - previously maintained, preserved and protected the Glassbar Island property. They worked with OSPD staff on various invasive species removal restoration projects with a long term vision/goal of restoring the park to its natural condition.

News Flash: A "Stopwork" has been ordered by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department on the Glassbar property. See the work stopage letter and the related Eugene Weekly article.

Hopefully Glassbar Island Volunteers will work again later this Fall with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department on the Glassbar property.

• The 'front' crossing to Glassbar island is usually under water so you must wade across to the island. The water can be swift, over knee deep at times and the rocks in the water can be very slippery - please take this into account before attempting to cross over to the island with children. (see river information)
• Children must be accompanied by at least 1 adult if they leave the 'front' beach area to explore the park (see map for 'front' beach location).
• Under no circumstances are children to be left alone to wander around the property.
• 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.
