Sammamish Walks

Join Sammamish Walks once a month, April through October for a guided walk along the forested trails of the Sammamish plateau.

All walks start at 10 a.m. and last for 1.5 to 2 hours. 

Walks are led by volunteers – wildlife experts, naturalists, photographers, parks commissioners and others – all of them knowledgeable and enthusiastic about our regional parks and trails. 

Bring your cameras or binoculars but leave your dogs at home as we will be focusing on plants and wildlife.
