Lake Sammamish State Park is a 510-acre day-use park
with 6,858 feet of waterfront on Lake Sammamish. The
area around the lake carries cultural significance as a
gathering place for at least four Native American tribes.
This vast park boasts two lakefront beaches and trails
through deciduous forest and wetlands, this park provides
a family outdoor experience just off the urban grid. You may
even get to share space with one of the great blue herons or
bald eagles that nest in the park.
Board and Kayak rentals are available at Tibbetts Beach. Bring bikes, walking poles,
binoculars and bird books, or bring your GPS unit for geocaching, and explore the light-
dappled trails. Let the kids burn off some energy on the brand-new-state-of-the-art
playground, while you watch from the sidelines and rest.
In addition to free-form fun, Lake Sammamish hosts community events year-round. They include
nature, birding and dog walks; stewardship projects; paddling and cycling events; kids' obstacle
courses; summer concerts; holiday boat parades; and the annual summer Parkadilly Fair.
