About Flaming Geyser State Park

Flaming Geyser State Park sits along the Green River east of Auburn in King County. Visitors can walk wooded trails, ride horses on a separate equestrian loop, play in open fields, and watch fall salmon runs. The park has picnic tables, reservable shelters, playgrounds, and swimming and kayaking areas in designated spots. It is a day-use park only, and alcohol is not allowed. Wikipedia notes that the namesake flame, fed by a methane pocket, no longer burns as of 2016, though a nearby mud-hole seep called the Bubbling Geyser can be seen on a short hike.
