Driving Directions

Sammamish Cove is located in Issaquah and we will be parking in the Lake Sammamish State Park parking lot. From I-90, take Exit 15. Follow signs for Lake Sammamish State Park, and go north on 17th Ave NW. Turn left onto NW Sammamish Rd. Turn right into the main entrance to Lake Sammamish State Park in about one half mile. Drive down the main park road, and turn left into the first parking lot towards Tibbetts Beach. Continue to the far end of the parking lot and follow Greenway event signs to parking.

Additional Information
Sammamish Cove is a former dairy farm adjacent to Lake Sammamish State Park. It borders Tibbetts Creek, a salmon-bearing stream, to the Northeast. Boasting sweeping views of the Issaquah Alps, the area has been overwhelmed by invasive weeds. Greenway Trust volunteers have worked hard to remove these invasive weeds along the creek. Join us as we plant native trees and shrubs throughout this site to continue to improve this important habitat.
