The best time to visit is in November when the crowds are gone and parking is ample. The salmon will be spawning right by the Geyser. This place is a must for nature lovers. For those who love adventure, try riding your bike there. The roads leading to the park are not busy and the elevation is modest. It is about a 2 hour bike ride from Renton

Really nice large park with river access and easy walking trails through the woods. Plenty of picnic areas and a small playground for kids too. Does require a Washington state parks pass (discover pass) which can be purchased from a machine at the park entrance. Day use only.The geysers are a bit less than impressive but they are interesting, so if you keep your expectations low about what you imagine a flaming geyser to be, you will enjoy this park.During the summer its a favorite spot among locals for innertubing on the river, in the fall its a great spot for mushroom lovers.

Nice park, free with Discovery Pass otherwise $21. Lots of parking, but fills up quick on hot summer days! Nice place to float the Green River, with parking lots at both ends of the park. There is NO flaming geyser anymore, but a short hike takes you up where you can see salt water bubbling up out of the ground.

This is located right on Green River. It has basic picnic tables and some grassy areas for families to hangout and play. The main draw from what I see is playing in the water. Lots of families playing on the river banks. This our second time floating down the river and it is very fun. Park at the furthest parking lot and walk up the trail to get the longest ride. Bring some nice tubes for floating, we got ours on Amazon. They were durable enough for the occasional rocks we bumped into during the small rapids we encountered. Nothing to worry about, its an easy ride. If you want to avoid the walk back to the car bring a second car and park one at the first parking area and drive everyone to the top.

Flaming Geyser SP is an amazing get away. I watched a Blue Heron catch a fish & then fly away. There’s lots of open space with several picnic tables & river access points. Fly fishing, rafting, walking the trails and a designated space for radio controlled planes or drones can all be done here. Restrooms were available & portable toilets too. It is very family friendly.

Since the flame is no longer active, the parks main attractions are the drop off points for your floating devices. Unless you get there super early to land a picnic table, be youre going to be stuck fighting for some shaded spot with 10,000 other families. We were lucky enough to get there around 10 am. Soon after, all hell broke lose as the park met is capacity, and people swarmed around the entrance trying to land some street parking.I felt bad for the only park employee navigating traffic outside the park. One single employee for the entire park! That was ridiculous! Oh yeah, it was also 92 degrees and expected to reach .The trails and wooded areas were pleasant as it was actually quiet and peaceful. I would return, just not on a day like this.

No true flaming geyser but beautiful views of an open landscape, river-front walks, and a pair of belted kingfishers playing in among the cattails made it worth the trip.

This was a great trip. It’s not as packed as years previous due to covid and no camping. They also filled in the swimming hole and you can walk all the way across to the rock ledge which my younger kids loved. It was sad to see how people treated the flaming geyser. They have burnt logs in there and big boulders around it. The flame was out. The park was well maintained.

Beautiful area. Very nice trail along the river. The flaming geyser looks like someone stuck the candle in the ground. Its tiny but have to appreciate the nature. Ill definitely go back more often.

Medium sized trail park compared to other larger parks like My. Rainier and Federation Park. Be sure to wear hiking shoes and not tennis shoes. Very slippery put here with water and rain. No the flaming geyser isnt a flame any longer but you can still visit the site. Also cool to see Bubbling Geyser and how the natural chemicals react with the streams.

Something like 80% pure Methane from a capped 3000 or so deep oil and gas well flows gently through a small perforation in the cap. Bring your lighter. The flame for us was fleeting, and about 6 to 8 inches in length. The real draw of this park is its prime location on the Green River. An easy hike upstream with a raft of some sort and you can safely float from beach to beach by June. Rapids downstream arent for the uninitiated though, so wear a pfd and/or pull out before it gets too turbulent.

Beautiful day flying RC planes at Flaming Geyser Field in the morning. Then came the rain, but nice drive thru countryside. Great place to visit.

Fun to fish, take an easy hike and picnic. enjoy the family of otters swimming around

July 19, 2020. The park is open. Discover Pass required or you can pay at entrance. The park bathroom is open, too(bring ur own hand sanitizer or water).DOGS ON LEASH! The park rangers would give you a ticket for that!Lots of green n picnic tables along the river. its beautiful place to go. there is a playground in the field. Hiking is fun, too.

My family has lived on the green river for over 24 years about 7 minute drive to the park and about an hour and a half float to get out at my house. We drove in with 2 cars both with discovery passes. When we reached my house I drove back to the park to pick up the 2 cars we left. When driving up to the toll booth it was a younger guy who was extremely rude from the beginning. I’m not sure if he was having a bad day but I have never been treated so terribly by park staff. The staff is usually amazing and kind! I nicely explained that I was dropping off these 2 people at there cars, I was not staying in the park or even getting out of my car. He rudely said if we can’t afford the fee to get into the park then we need to leave. We were so confused, both the people with me ended having to get out of my car at the toll booth and walk all the way to their cars. This had nothing to do with “affording” the park fees. We have never had a problem before when going to pick up our cars, the staff is usually very understanding. We have supported this park many years and to be treated like that was embarrassing. The park is very beautiful, it always has been. I walk the trails at least once a week with my dog even during winter time when nobody else is in the park. It’s really sad that we were treated so poorly.

Nice, quiet park near the Green River. Good picnic areas, clean bathroom.A short, steep trail up to see geologic historic interest site (1/4 mile).

Very open area along a river. Looks like a great place to spend an afternoon. Plenty of stone tables and benches. The whole park is nicely tucked away. No camping.

Ive lived in Kent for 20 years and have never visited this park. We just randomly took the exit to check it out on a beautiful day. There are a few spots where you can sit by the river. Its beautiful. Not many river front spots, but if you can get it, its beautiful. Well come back.

Well worth going not for the gyser which is not flaming anymore but for the salmon spawning!

Most private park you can find in King County or any other county in the Puget Sound for that matter. Suggest taking the Ridge Trail hike from there go out to the River Trail. 6 mile hike total. Green River is very tranquil, peaceful setting.

Beautiful park, beautiful scenery. We did a photo shoot here and they turned out amazing but this park is perfect for anything from a quick walk to a big gathering

I both walk my dogs and birdwatch here. Green River runs through it. Theres a variety of ecosystems here - meadow, swamp, River, hill, wooded areas. Lots of ancient trees.

It’s a nice place reminds me of my hometown. I go there most of the time and enjoy with my family

COME HERE!!! this is an amazing place to go to, for peace and nature! You can lay down on the grass, walk around the park, float on the river on some pool floats, and you can also swim in the water w/o pool floats. But beware, there is a strong current so if you are not good at swimming, then please do not swim without a float. It is also very beautiful here, I try to come here every week. ️️

Beautiful! Picnic area, playground, the river is amazing and the geyser hike is short and gorgeous!

Nice place to spend a day with family or friends. It has barbecue spot, little hike trail, water tubing route, kids play ground, r/c aircraft dedicated place, and more. State park pass required.

Nice large park with open fields and river access. Lots of picnic table and with bbqs by some of them. It was $10 for a day pass.

Cute state park. We spent time at a secluded picnic table near the river. Went on a busy day but there was plenty of space. Went to see the geysers before ending our visit. Theflaming geyser its no longer active, however the bubbling Geyser was neat. The hike to the bubbling Geyser is rather steep and muddy.

Found the actual Flaming Geyser, to which a flame had to be applied (see picture). Multiple good picnic places. Trails are limited. The Green River Gorge and fall foliage were impressive. The best views of Green River in my opinion. Great place to watch radio-controlled airplanes. A nice place to explore.

Clean and cozy. Many different options for recreation hiking, rafting, floating picnic or park bbqing. Beautiful park.

Great park. Nice views. Great trails. However, the actual flaming geyser was very underwhelming.

Looked like a nice place but too crowded on a hot summer day. Pay box for entry was defective and backing up traffic to an unsafe condition. Too crowded for us with kids and the COVID. We left and went to another state park 20 minutes away. We will visit another time when it is not as crowded.

A safe place to hang out and if they still have the model planes airport, I used to go watch them all the time. I did not go in this time.

Good park. Quite, no? People don’t chit on the river . Thank you

Fun day use state park. Very popular on hot days for tubing

A fun park with amazing natural features. Well worth a trip.

First time floating down the river and we had a blast! We parked one vehicle at Whitney Bridge and it does not cost anything but the parking area is small. However there is plenty of room along the road. There is a big white barn looking house for a marker as to when to get off. Then we drove to Flaming Geyser, there you have to pay $10 to park and they do not want people parking on the grass. But you drive to the right and go as far as you can go, at the end there is a dumpster and a Lil turn around. There were a lot of people there but there is plenty of parking. Make sure to put your slip up on your dash so the Ranger dont ticket you. But after I think about 4 or 5pm the person in the booth leaves, then you dont have to pay to get in. After you park at the end then get your stuff together and its a short walk to the river. Be sure to bring Lil kayak paddles or something cuz it helps to be able to push off the rocks once in awhile or to get thru the slower parts. There are a few places you can stop along the way to let kids swim or to pick berries. Some spots were pretty low and I got a few bruises from hitting the rocks. My sons tube was tied to me so that was a Lil more difficult but still we had so much fun! It took us about 2 hours to get to Whitney Bridge and we stopped along the way so my son could swim. At one of the spots we stopped at, there is a waterfall and rope swing but also be careful cuz drop offs too. The river isnt that fast but just fast enough for our family being first timers.

Beautiful park. River wraps around, great place to float. Very nice trails. Also, a rc flying field in the park.

Beautiful park with well-maintained grounds and convenient public amenswinger.Playground could use a swingset.

Very nice place for a picnic and short hikes with the family. Not crowded when I visited in the weekend.

Beautiful grounds, open area for a picnic, streams and rivers to cool you off, all while enjoying the serenity.

These pics are a half hour walk from the parking lot. You could spend the day here. Peaceful !!

Our family loves coming here to fish. We enjoy the bubbling brook atmosphere at the beginning trail & the river trail. Definitely think it could use a little help/path clearing in the back. Some fallen trees make it difficult to hike through with our toddler. We look at it as an adventure though!

It was super quiet. None else was there that evening. Smog and Covid days!

Had an amazing day at Flaming Geyser Park. Yes, amazing. Real nature clean and one you do not want it be over. Will come again for sure since I didnt cover all the options this beautiful park has to offer. If you have never been to Flaming Geyser Park, you need to it.

Terrific day park - great for a relaxing the entertained river ride is the key attraction here. Don’t forget your Discover pass. You can purchase a one day pass at the gate where there is an attendant public facilities are available.

Amazing place for family and parties.. enjoyed a lot with my 10 year old boy..

We only got to cruise a couple of trails which were well traveled and flat. We had trouble finding river access, but looked like others knew how to get access. Fun time watching model airplanes.

Great state park that is wide and open. It is never really crowded and there is lots of outdoor tables.

Nice weekend get away and not far from Seattle. Restrooms need improvement.

Beautiful trails, nice picnic tables by the water. Clean park. Saw some woodpeckers.

Park aide Megan was above and beyond helpful in locating the best viewpoints. Very knowledgeable about the park. Thank you

I give it five stars if only because our visit coincided with salmon spawning. Never have I ever witnessed that event before. Really cool. The upper geyser is worth the effort to get to. It was a real NatGeo day!

Love to float the river here. We have never has any problems. Always had a great time.

Wonderful place to take your dog for a stroll, run, or play ball to tire them out. Nice trails along the Green River to take a stroll with your significant other and/or your kiddos. There’s a little delta of rocks to relax and skip stones too.Plenty of picnic tables to have a sit down lunch but the drawback is that they’re not maintained that well - at least during the colder seasons.So much space and a great place to explore!

It was a little confusing being new in the area. Didnt know what a Discovery Pass is. However, if I was actually at Flaming Geyser Park it was a heavenly hike along a river, my dog got to play in the river and we me friendly people. Well difently go back.

Beautiful park, lots of room for kids and dogs to run around

Good place to get away for the day, you can walk or swim or just relax. Even had an Elk run in front of my car!

Beautiful area for a picnic and a great place for birding! Saw a Black Headed Grosbeak and 75% sure a Western Tanager lol. The actual Flaming Geyser is rather underwhelming, it says there is methane gas coming from it but from the naked eye it just looks like a funny hole in the ground. The less advertised Bubbling Geyser(pictured) we found more interesting as you can see the Methane mixing with calcium making the water an interesting color. Very cool place to check out when in the area!

Flaming Geyser is a beautiful park in Auburn Wa. There are plenty of hiking trails some a bit challenging others easy, cut outs along trails offer beautiful views of the river and creeks, there are several large covered picknic areas with BBQ pits which are first come first serve unless already reserved, Contact Park Dept. If you wish to reserve a spot for family event, there is plenty of parking, must purchase a day pass at Park entrance if you dont already have an annual pass, very nice place for entertainment and entire family, bring bottled water if you plan on visiting, no water available other than river.

Awesome park. It is super clean. Nice place to take a walk and clear you head

I would give them a 5,but they dont have water or lights in the bathrooms

Good trailers and you can fly your RC planes and drones after you show them you know what your doing

Great park. Definitely need a discovery pass. Great place for river floating and picnics. Can get quite crowded.

Super fun to float the river and swim in the summers. Great place for work company picnics. When I was younger we used to have overnight girlscout trips here. So many great memories here. My family and I have been coming here for years.

Large area with remote control airfield to left after bridge or go right to open and wooded hiking trails, picnic tables, playgrounds and restrooms. Lots to explore. Dogs on leash. Accessable clean, unisex bathrooms.Discover pass needed. Day passes self-service at entrance during off-season for $10 but spend $30 and use for a year at many parks!

Flaming Geyser State Park is not a very well known park in Washington State. Some might even call it the poor version of Yellowstone National Park. There are 2 Geysers and it’s a good place to go bbq and hangout in the park on a sunny day.

I love Flaming Geyser State Park. Its not crowded like other parks can be. Great for bird watching or relaxing with a picnic while listening to the river. Its very nice.

Wide open. Always love going there.

Beautiful park escape since it is turning to fall

One of my favorite parks to go. Love the river and the trails.

Tried to do a little fishing got like three casts and it started to rain so packed up and left but any time in the park is good time

Great place to spend a hot day. Not too crowded

My son said it shouldnt be called Bubbling Geyser, but I thought the title thoroughly appropriate. Descriptive, even.

Magical Natural Beauty of every kind on fun and easy hiking trails alongside the flowing crystal clear Green River... We totally love this cool little hidden treasure trove of Nature.

Big park. Fun shallow river for tubbing.

Lots of picnic table, but make sure to take your garbage with you didnt see any garbage cans.

Not so far out to where you dont get phone reception, but far enough out to be 1 with nature

Beautiful nature trails near the green river

Wow. I grew up in Preston in the 70s-80s and we used to come here a lot. Great to see the pics. Good memories of when things werent so controlled as they are now.

BEAUTIFUL and fun to explore

Nice park areas and they have a field for radio controlled airplanes

Nice swimming and hiking areas. Great for river tubing too

Awesome place to start a float

Tubers also people fly rc planes there beautiful park working on the bridge

Great day to take in the fall colors.

If you came here to see a flaming geyser, dont even bother.If you want a giant place to have a good time, this is where its at.Great place to hold huge family dinners.Great place to launch an inflatable for a welcome ride down the Green river on a 90 degree day.An annual Discovery Pass is a great investment.A view from my Seafair Sunday Captains hammock....

Great place for. Swim and hike. Few things to do there. Fly drone. BBQ. Playground for the kids. And big enough fields to play.

This park has everything! Trails, a flame you can light, water access, a play area, and clean bathrooms. I have loved every visit and will continue to enjoy the beauty of this park.

Its a beautiful scenic drive to get here. Ill start off with the flaming geyser its not really a flame much less a geyser. It more of a tiny grave pit in the ground with a round tin can the size of a soccer ball. The bubble geyser is not existing. The trails are AMAZING! Perfect for kids of all ages! I would still recommend going to see the bubble geyser since it a easy hike to get there and the kids and yourself are rewarded with a gorgeous stream. Overall pretty fun! I would give more stars but the playground is flooded and very old.

Nice place, well kept, lots of area to walk. Geysers were a bit of a let down. The flaming geyser only flames if you physically light it. Then there was thebubbling geyser haha! The big tree with the cool roots right before that was more impressive. I guess still cool to read about and see though.

Nice state park with easy hiking trails for the whole family.

Guy at the gate was rude unclear and made us feel like fools. I was disappointed with the entire process.

Beautiful park and fun to play in the river, bbq with family, and do a little hiking

My hubby and I are here working from Arkansas. We decided to come check out some parks and we absolutely loved it here. Beautiful, Absolutely beautiful.

Awesome place for whole family activities!

Lots of memories when I was a teenager would love to take my children but cant find a way to the state park even with GPS

Fun float down the Green River

Great place for floating the river. The geyser its self is pretty lame.

Love the place and scenery. Good place for hiking and fishing etc.
