As stated by SammamishYak, there is a dock at Idylwood Park. Looks to be a pretty decent park. Directly east of the park on the other side, I'm not exactly what kind of "park" it is. When I boat along that area, I can clearly see the trailer, but I can't tell where you'll be able to park. There's some decent SMB along that area because of the nice rocks. There were a couple of docks, but when I saw them, they were closed off and being worked on. There's plenty of shore access too.

6/18/2013 1:28:00 PMThe new area Sammamish Yak mentioned may be Sammamish Landing. I rode by on my bike. Very small area, but a nice dock. Seemed like a good place to hang out all day--fish in the am then tube when it warms up! Here's info:

6/18/2013 2:38:00 PMHow's the wind on the lake right now? I'm tempted to go out this evening on the boat.... :o Any thunder clouds overhead? Rain possibilities? The dock at Idylwood didn't look like a swimming dock, but I never got close to it to see.

6/18/2013 2:50:00 PMNot windy at all. A little over cast but the clouds are pretty white. The dock was full of kids swimming so I didn't even attempt I'm headed to marymoor park now

6/18/2013 3:14:00 PMWalk along the path. Should be some decent spots to cast out. I think I will stay in. If I leave right now, I probably wont be able to get onto the water until 5PM with traffic. That gives me maybe 3 hrs to fish. Checking weather radar, it's cutting a little too close. Good luck out there.

6/18/2013 8:57:00 PMTried off that dock for about an hour with a one spinners. On my other rod we had a drop shot with a night crawler and a power egg. No bites.
