From Washington: Rattlesnake Lake Guided Tour

Explore Rattlesnake Lake on a guided tour from Washington. Enjoy a scenic drive, walk along the lake, and learn about the Cedar River Watershed at the Education Center.
Discover one of Washington’s favorite outdoor spots on a guided tour to Rattlesnake Lake, set between Mount Washington and Rattlesnake Mountain. With convenient hotel pickup and drop-off (or a pre-set meeting point), you can relax and focus on the scenery as you travel through the Mountains to Sound Greenway.

Once at the lake, take in serene views and enjoy time at the beach. Your guide will lead you along a scenic walkway trail beside the water, where you can stretch your legs and enjoy the surroundings at an easy pace. You’ll also walk to a small waterfall area along the lakeside—an ideal place for photos and a quiet moment in nature.

Rattlesnake Lake is also the gateway to popular regional trails: the Palouse to Cascades Trail heads east and the Snoqualmie Valley Trail heads north. Nearby, the Cedar River Watershed Education Center features exhibits about the 90,000-acre watershed that supplies much of Seattle’s drinking water (time permitting).

After your lakeside visit, you’ll return to the parking area and ride back to your hotel or designated drop-off point. This half-day nature escape is designed to be simple, scenic, and memorable—perfect for travelers who want fresh air and classic Pacific Northwest views without complicated planning.
