Gather with us at the Upper Campground Amphitheater for ranger-led talks about the park.

Campfire talks will explore the park’s rich natural history, from its diverse wildlife and unique ecosystems to the geological forces that shaped the landscape. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the natural resources that make this park so special. A campfire will be provided to enhance the experience—weather and fire conditions permitting! 

Directions

48.089808, -122.715759

When entering the park continue straight to the 4-way stop. At the intersection, take a left onto Campground Rd. Note: Day-use visitors should continue straight, past the entrance to the Upper Campground, and park in the grassy lot by the boat launch. Follow the hiking trail back up to the campground and continue straight on the paved hiking path until you reach the amphitheater.

For accessibility, visitors may be dropped off at the paved trailhead next to site 14 in the Upper Campground and may temporarily use overflow parking in the campground to attend programs.
