Celebrate National Get Outdoors Day June 10th at Lake Sammamish State Park

On Saturday, June 10th Lake Sammamish State Park will have a fee free day (no Discover Pass required) to celebrate National Get Outdoors Day. National Get Outdoors Day started as a way to celebrate an opportunity to escape the indoors and get outside to our public lands for free during the Get Outdoors Month traditionally celebrated as the month of June.

As a way to celebrate National Get Outdoors Day, Friends of Lake Sammamish is hosting a volunteer restoration event. We encourage you all to spend a little time with us Saturday from 10 am to noon in service to the great outdoors that provides for us in so many various ways including clean water, fresh air and exercise. In partnership with our community, Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park continues to beautify the Sunset Beach gardens through weeding and laying down mulch. It will be a wonderful morning to celebrate our public lands. Come join us for this restoration event by registering here.  

After a little weeding and mulching please stay and enjoy the park and everything it has to offer.  Lake Sammamish State Park is a 531 acre park with two waterfront beaches, over 1.5 miles in tree dappled trails, birding, picnicking, fishing and water sports. Lake Sammamish State Park provides our community with an incredible opportunity to celebrate our time outside.

During this Get Outdoors Month we would love to know what Lake Sammamish State Park means to you. For me and my family, the park is a place of celebration. I have brought cousins, grandparents, sisters, brothers, and friends to Lake Sammamish State Park to celebrate a day playing in the lake, picnicking, playing games under the shade trees, and watching the bald eagles soaring over the lake. Come celebrate this month outside at Lake Sammamish State Park and share with us what this park means to you; tag us in your pictures of the park on social media with the hashtag #FLSSP.
