Regional Park
Lake Sammamish State Park
This Adventure is a collaboration between the Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park and the Washington State Geocaching Association. Using an Adventure, they were able to provide the following enticements to visitors without needing any staff on-site. They launched in the autumn and enjoyed increased visitation during the fall and winter seasons while staying compliant with the state’s guidance on maximum numbers of people gathering.
Offer a reward
The first 50 people who finish this Adventure receive a sweet treat at the local ice cream shop. Finishers simply mention the Lake Sammamish Adventure to the staff.
Indigenous context
Participants are exposed to aboriginal or indigenous names and uses for familiar native plants, deepening the visitors’ knowledge of the entire region.
Safety first
Adults and children get practical, just-in-time education that this park has a free life jacket loaner program so that all kids who come to enjoy the water can be safe.
