Morning Walk for Family Birding

An easy walk on maintained trails and walkways with master birder Andy McCormick will explore the many habitats of Lake Sammamish State Park.


Woodlands, streamside, lakeshore, and meadow attract a variety of birds at this season. Expect to see (and hear!) colorful songbirds and woodpeckers, Great Blue Herons, Bald Eagles, goofy American Coots, and many others.


The free walk begins at 10 a.m. and is scheduled to end at noon (you can leave at any time). The route and pace will be adjusted to fit the needs of the group. Dress for the weather and wear shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy.

To join the walk, enter through the park’s main gate, take the first left, and meet at the northeast end of the large parking lot a little before 10.


Please be aware that state park entry requires a day use fee or Discover Pass (available at many Big 5 and Fred Meyer locations, see http://discoverpass.wa.gov).
