The town of Black Diamond and the surrounding region, including the park, is one of the main coal mining areas in Washington.

Disappointment
Years ago I visited Flaming Geyser and today I took out of state visitors there. I had such nice memories of the flame and so enjoyed it way back when. How disappointing to find that the flame has been encased in concrete and is barely visible. The trail to Bubbling Geyser has been damaged and is not accessible.
The park itself was nice with some of the trail still accessible. Apparently fire and alcohol are a problem but the countless signs at every turn are distracting.

Part of the park is closed
Most of the park is closed now due to maintenance / budget problems. Other than that this park is a great place to enjoy the wildlife and river of the area.
