Evans Creek Preserve

Evans Creek Preserve is an 86-hectare nature park in Washington featuring wetlands, meadows, and forest areas. The grounds include marked walking paths of varying difficulty and length for different visitor preferences.

The land experienced logging and farming operations for over a century before the City of Sammamish acquired it in the early 2000s. This shift marked the start of transforming the area into a public nature space.

The preserve serves as a gathering place where residents engage in wildlife watching and hands-on habitat restoration. You will see groups tending to plants and tracking bird sightings during your visit.

The preserve has two entrances offering different route options: one leading to level trails and the other to forest paths. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for wet conditions in some areas.

The initial trail system was built through substantial volunteer effort, with thousands of hours of unpaid work to create the pathway network. This community contribution has shaped the preserve's local identity over time.
