They have reserved picnic spaces but also lots of spaces where you can simply claim to use the day of your gathering. The bathrooms were not the cleanest nor was the lake water as my son left with a stomach bug the next day. The parking lot is a bit of a hike to get to the lake and picnic areas. I highly recommend using a wagon to transport food and drinks. Or you can have somebody pull up in the handicapped parking loop to drop off party supplies.

Went here a a Friday for a rental of a peddle boat . The one…read morethat they pulled for us was like riding in a lead brick . Maybe it was just that boat. It didn't want to go straight unless you fought the handle , the peddling was a alittle harder than the last one I rode it like every third strike was hitting or not hitting the water. The boat did start taking on water about 20 mins of the ride , but I am sure this is normal for peddle boats. Over all it was fun I just need to remember to get a different boat next time.

SUP at Lake Sammamish! I love stand up paddleboarding (SUP) but don't have one of my…read moreown. But luckily I can just rent one by the hour at Lake Sammamish with Issaquah Paddle Sports! You have to make a reservation online in advance - they don't take walk ups. But it's really easy to reserve one and pay and I made my reservation like an hour before. You do need to pay to enter Lake Sammamish State Park unless you have a Discover Pass (which i do!). The SUP rental stand is at Tibbets Beach, so it's the first beach after you enter the park and there's tons of parking. Once you check in with Issaquah Paddle Sports, they give you a wrist band and direct you to the life vest station. And then you head down to the beach to get your equipment (they also rent our kayaks). I got my SUP and paddle and the guy said to come back in an hour. And off I went! It's a good workout! There are also boats and people on jet skis using the lake, so the water can get a bit choppy when they pass by. ISP doesn't have lockers, so plan accordingly. I don't like to leave stuff in my car, but I have a dry bag with me. The board I got didn't have any cords/straps/ropes that other boards have to strap my bag in, so I wore my dry bag like a backpack over my life vest. You do have to leave an ID with the employee as collateral. Don't forget to go get that back before you leave!

Best rafting in the states…read more The guides are the best. They're super knowledgeable, friendly, and safe! They'll keep you safe on the water and make sure you have a good time too. They make these little stops along the river and tell you about the area. Blair the owner is a saint and will make sure your time on the river is the best that is possible. The Guides: James Michael is the best looking man in a wetsuit that ever lived, and will keep you safe. Robin is a motivator and is good with people that are meek or first timers. Kathy is the best planner and is good with booking big groups. I ONLY RAFT WITH OUTDOOR ADVENTURES, EVERYONE ELSE DOESNT COME CLOSE.

Andrea was our guide, and she gave us a perfect stretch of sizable time on the Skykomish. In the middle of the trip, we shored the raft, and Andrea set up a delicious lunch spread. The spread even accommodated my wife's dietary restrictions. We also had the opportunity to swim around in a crystal-clear pool of water that was behind the rock bar. You could go with the mega-sized outfit that probably gets more hits on Google, but I've dealt with those companies. They tend to rush people in and out, and see their operation as more of an amusement park. With Chinook, Shane and Andrea love what they do, and have decades of experience on the river.

We read the reviews online and called them to book our adventure. We were treated with kindness and respect from the time that we got there. We signed the requisite waivers and were told that the rapids head tamed down to class three which was very manageable and safe for the family. They outfit you with wet suits and boots and it's suggested that you bring your own hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. Our guy took the time to get to know all the folks that were in our group and arranged us in the raft, according to our age and abilities. My son and his friend sat towards the back of the raft, which turned out to be the safest and driest location. After a short walk-through of expectations and paddling instruction, we got underway. Smooth sailing for the 1st mile or so, and then we hit our first group of rapids. The guy did an outstanding job of keeping us afloat and telling us which side to paddle aggressively, and which side to back off on. Throughout the day, this continued and we hit several more aggressive rapids that were challenging, but a lot of fun. Photographers are located throughout the course and will get some great pictures of your group as you head down the river. They are available for purchase at the end. Overall, a great experience and a great day with osprey rafting company. Highly recommended!
