Lake Sammamish State Park

Two beaches, modern play, paths, wetlands, fields, and picnic facilities make Lake Sammamish a worthwhile eastside family day trip.

The Issaquah Creek and Tibbetts Creek bridges and Homestead Trail are closed due to erosion; check current beach, rental, water, and trail conditions.

Lake Sammamish State Park pairs two swimming beaches and two playgrounds with paved paths, wetlands, fields, picnic facilities, and accessible restrooms.

It is an eastside day trip rather than a Seattle city park. Several creek bridges and Homestead Trail are currently closed, so families should choose an open beach or play destination before going.
