| State Park Overview: |
 | Flaming Geyser State Park is a 480-acre day-use park with more than three miles of freshwater shoreline on the Green River. The park's most unique feature is its "geysers" (methane seeps). Park activities include whitewater rafting, tubing, and model airplane flying.
Summer: 8 a.m. to dusk.
Winter: 8 a.m. to dusk.
The park is open year-round for day use only.
Model airplane flying hours are 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. summer weekdays; 9 a.m. to dusk winter weekdays; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekends year-round. |
| Nature of the Area: |
| The town of Black Diamond and the surrounding region, including the park, is one of the main coal mining areas in Washington. The park's underlying coal seams provide the gas for the Flaming Geyser and the Bubbling Geyser. Interpretive displays located at the Flaming Geyser portray this relationship. |

| History of the Area: |
| Flaming Geyser State Park has existed on this location since the 1920's. Operated as a private park into the 1960's, it fell into bankrupcy. State Parks rescued it from conversion to home development and has operated it as a park ever since.
The Flaming Geyser burned significantly higher before the 1960's, and was featured in "Ripley's Believe It or Not." The park is actively looking to obtain an original copy of the Ripley's publication that features the geyser. |
