Additional Information

King County Parks and Recreation's 574-acre park sits at the confluence of the Snoqualmie and Tolt Rivers in the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley. A 500-foot suspension foot bridge crosses the Snoqualmie River and offers terrific views of the river and Cascade foothills. During the fall, you can observe spawning salmon in the river below and eagles and osprey soaring above.

Volunteers will help sustain restoration efforts led by the Snoqualmie Tribe and King County Parks and Recreation. During this event, volunteers will be removing invasive species and mulching to encourage native plant establishment in the future.
