Lake Sammamish State Park

Very nice park with a beach and a few playgrounds. It has paid parking.

Nice clean beach with a TON of space for sitting under trees, eating lunch, and or/swimming. There are a LOT of picnic tables too, but at the beach itself, you will want a tent/hat to create shade, and a chair to sit on for comfort. The temperature of the water was perfect (mid August). WATCH out on the ramp that leads into the water. It grows algae/moss and is EXTREMELY SLIPPERY. The sand is mostly super small pebbles on the beach, then the medium rocks along the water line, and then it turns in to tiny rocks/sand as you get deeper. Bring swimming shoes/water sandals for those with sensitive feet.

Beautiful Lake Sammamish went boating and swimming! The water is getting sticky smell. When you get out of water, it smells like swamp water. Think to many ducks and birds been taken over. Water needs cleaning. But it's a great place to go anyway! We had fun

If you want a romantic evening, here is the place: the boat launch at the Lake Sammamish State park in WA!
The sunsets are gorgeous from there. Highly recommended!

Loved this! Lots of room, lots of picnic tables (all spaced out nicely). The lake water was awesome, nice and warm and clear. Will definitely be going again!!
