Riverside park on the Sammamish River with a wide boardwalk, marshy shoreline, mature trees and bridges—ideal for reflections, long exposures of flowing water, birdlife and seasonal fall color. Easy access with a small parking lot and accessible paths; no entry fee. Best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and glassy reflections; weekdays or early mornings reduce walkers and dog traffic. Watch for tide-like river flow and local waterfowl (great for telephoto work).
