According to the signboard, 39 acres was deeded to the City of Camas by the Crown Willamette Paper Company. "The Old City Park" became a favorite place for residents to picnic ad enjoy the outdoors. An additional 12 acres was donatd by Clark County in 1992 bringing the total amount of park land to 51 acres.Today, this area is known as "Lacamas Creek Park." The park has been preserved as a permanent open space for the citizens of Camas in an effort to protect our natural resources while enhancing recreational opportunities.

One of the trails that connects to the Lacamas Lake Trail will take you along the west side of the Round Lake over the dam and past the informational signboard to the Round Lake Trailhead (N 45 36.210 W 122 24.404).
