Join Trout Unlimited’s Program Manager and resident salmon expert David Kyle to catch a glimpse of our elusive native Kokanee salmon and learn more about the salmon's habitat and lifestyle. This is a unique opportunity to see a less traveled part of the Lake Sammamish State Park and to observe members of this iconic salmon population. This tour is in the heart of kokanee spawning season, however their migration patterns are hard to predict so there is no guarantee that salmon will be viewed at this event.

Thank you for registering for the Kokanee Salmon Viewing Tour with Trout Unlimited! Below are directions and important details to help you find the event location.
GETTING THERE:
The Hans Jensen Group Camp is located on the east side of Lake Sammamish, across from the boat launch area of the park.
The address is 4460 E Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE, Issaquah, WA 98029 — you can enter this into Google Maps or your GPS for directions.
Look for a Kokanee Tour sign posted along E Lake Sammamish Parkway. This will mark the entrance to the Hans Jensen area.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
Turn into the driveway at the sign and drive past the private residence at the entrance. Continue through the gate and follow the road to the open field, where you can park. A volunteer will be onsite to help direct parking and check you in.
OTHER DETAILS:
Discover Passes will be provided for all participants — you do not need to purchase one to attend. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes; the area may be muddy or uneven.
Tours will take place rain or shine!
