Kanaskat Palmer State Park

I didn't  realize the Green River was so beautiful until we came here and saw the rushing waters, jagged boulders and lush maples. If you're unfamiliar with the location of the park, think of it as where East Kent would meet North Enumclaw.  Our first trip here was spent mountain biking, there is a wide dirt trail that winds along the river, good for beginner bikers, or if you're on foot, a very scenic walking trail.  Our next trip here was the day the rivers opened up for fishing, we headed out after work, got some Safeway Deli Sandwiches and the only thing we came home with were some great photos.

If you're able to, the drive from Kanaskat to Enumclaw on Cumberland Kanaskat Rd SE is beautiful with rich farmland at the foothills of the Cascade mountains.
