Step off the busy main street and into Lithia Park where the creek keeps time, coaxing you forward as you hunt clues with your phone. Cottonwoods shade paved paths, historic bridges mark each checkpoint, and storefronts on the edge of the park tuck local flavor into every solved riddle. The game slows your pace enough to notice hand-painted signs, public art, and the stonework that hints at Ashland’s past.

Step off the busy main street and into Lithia Park where the creek keeps time, coaxing you forward as you hunt clues with your phone. Cottonwoods shade paved paths, historic bridges mark each checkpoint, and storefronts on the edge of the park tuck local flavor into every solved riddle. The game slows your pace enough to notice hand-painted signs, public art, and the stonework that hints at Ashland’s past.
Ashland’s downtown grew around the railroad and the water that gives Lithia Park its name — mineral-rich springs once promoted for health benefits. The setting sits at the northern edge of the Siskiyou foothills; volcanic and sedimentary layers underfoot shaped the creek’s course and the park’s terraces. Culture arrives fast here: the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s presence lends theatrical touches to public life and local businesses, so expect artful storefronts and a civic focus on preservation.
Practicalities matter: this is a smartphone-guided scavenger hunt for teams (up to 12), typically 1–3 hours depending on pace. You’ll move on paved and compacted park trails with short stair sections; organizers note a moderate fitness level. Bring a charged phone and local data, comfortable shoes, and a small water bottle. Lithia Park prohibits dogs, and many clues route through landscaped areas—respect signage. The tour is private and self-led, ideal for groups who want a paced mix of history, light exercise, and urban exploration without a fixed guide. Start near downtown, follow the app prompts, and let the creek and cobbles decide the rhythm of your day.

Much of the route uses paved park paths, but there are short stair sections and uneven surfaces; accessibility may be limited in spots—contact the operator for specifics.
Dogs are not permitted in Lithia Park, so they cannot accompany you through the park portions of the hunt.
Ashland’s downtown and Lithia Park grew around mineral springs and the late-19th-century civic push to create public green space; the Oregon Shakespeare Festival later shaped the town’s cultural identity.
Stay on marked paths and avoid trampling plantings; local groups work to protect the creek corridor and historic park landscaping from erosion and invasive species.
