2017 Mid-Columbia Knap-in Report The 2017 Mid-Columbia Knap-in was held at the Horsethief Lake Campground in the Columbia Hills State Park just across the Columbia River from The Dalles, Oregon. This is a beautiful park and an ideal place for a knap-in. It is very scenic and famous for its pictographs and petroglyphs. It is also a very popular park not only with fisherman but local Native American and the public in general.During the Knap-in members of the PSK demonstrated flintknapping to quite a few park visitors. We also had the opportunity to help a number of the park visitors try their hand a flintknapping, several of whom caught the flintknapping fever!
