The city is just 20 minutes from Seattle. It’s sandwiched between Lake Sammamish State Park to the north and Cougar Mountain, Squak Mountain, and Tiger Mountain to the south.
Here, you can watch paragliders launch off the mountain. If it’s a really clear day, you’ll see the city, Lake Sammamish, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and the surrounding forests and mountains.
It’s a popular park, especially in the summer. It has two beaches, multiple playgrounds, and lots of open space for picnics. Make sure you bring your Discover Pass when you visit.
