Welcome to Lynnville Park and Campground. It was established in 1964 when Peabody Coal Company deeded 1100 acres of strip mined land and lakes to the town of Lynnville for use as a water supply and for recreational purposes. Although the town no longer uses the275 acre lake for its water supply, the recreational use is abundant.
We will meet at the posted coordinates at the boat ramp at 9:00 am Central time and last about 30 minutes and sign the log book. Then set off on our journey for a few hours of fun. If you don't have a boat, kayak, or canoe, you are still more than welcome to show up and sign the log book, as there are about 30 land base caches in the park you can hike to. There are over 30 water based caches as well. Some will require you to exit your watercraft and make a small hike to, while others you can grab from your boat.
There is a $2.00 entrance fee into the park. If you'll be using a motor or trolling motor, you MUST have it registered. You'll also need an approved life vest for any of your watercrafts.

24 - Full Hookup sites - $22.00 / night
