A nice little park located in the heart of Etna and just south of Etna High School. The main attraction at this park is the Hallie Daggett Cabin, once lived in by Hallie Daggett, the first female fire lookout in the history of the U.S. Forest Service. She was a lookout from 1913 to 1928.

Another surprising feature of this park are the campground facilities that are advertised. Overnight fees of $5.00/person and $25/family are offered making it a cheap stay in the historic former mining town of Etna.
