	Sammamish River Trail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sammamish River Trail is a 10-mile bike path and recreational trail in King County, Washington that runs along the Sammamish River from Blyth Park in Bothell to Marymoor Park in Redmond.
		It connects to the Burke-Gilman Trail at its western end and to the East Lake Sammamish Trail at its eastern end.
		The trail is paved for bicycle, rollerblade and pedestrian use and is paralleled for most of its length by an unpaved equestrian trail.

	Shorezone Development Literature Review - Historical Changes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lowering the lake and diverting the Cedar River affected both the fish populations and the condition of the habitat.
		The channelization and straightening of the Sammamish River, at a loss of approximately 12 miles of river, eliminated the majority of riverine and off-channel rearing-habitat for juvenile salmon, disconnected the river from its floodplain, and eliminated riparian vegetation.
		An additional consequence of the Sammamish River channelization, subsequent river trail construction, and removal of the riparian vegetation, is that migrating salmon lack significant refuge habitat and holding areas, and are subjected to disturbance by passing trail users (Malcom, pers.

	USGS - Sammamish River Basin

		This equally true for the Sammamish River Basin in northeast King County, Washington, where a new wastewater treatment plant is being considered by King County.
		In cooperation with King County, the USGS is currently conducting a water-quality study of streams in the Sammamish River Basin.

	Habitat of the RiverWalk Project
		The Sammamish River is characterized by a uniform trapezoidal channel with a silty/sandy bottom, low diversity riparian vegetation, and impaired water quality.
		Lack of shade along the river corridor allows summer water temperatures to approach a critically high range for cold-water fish species, such as salmon and trout.
		In-river grading will occur to enhance form and function of the river substrate and add variability to the flow regime.

	American Forests: Leap of faith - protecting the Sammamish River
		For thousands of years the crystal clear waters of the Sammamish River were a cultural, economic, and social focus for western Washington state.
		The dredging, straightening, and narrowing that ensued - and the accompanying land changes - lessened springtime flooding but reduced the Sammamish River to a mere 14 miles, leading to major declines in its fish populations and degrading its water quality.
		Enter the Sammamish Watershed Forum, funded by the county and localities and comprised of elected officials from cities in the watershed and King and Snohomish counties.

	USGS - Sammamish River Basin - Project Summaries
		The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with King County is currently conducting a study to determine the concentrations of pesticides and metals in water samples from streams throughout the watershed, whether the water samples are toxic to microscopic organisms, and whether the toxicity can be linked to pesticides and metals.
		This proposed study will gather additional water-quality data on the Sammamish River by analyzing for a variety of chemical and microbiological parameters at up to 14 locations.
		Understanding the extent of toxins in urban rivers is one of the many factors that must be addressed if salmon runs are to be restored in the Pacific Northwest.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: Kokanee on view from riverbank
		On the banks of the Sammamish River in Redmond yesterday, Hans Berge was drawn to a kokanee salmon as it brushed away gravel on the river's bed.
		What that means is that conditions in Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish — where the kokanee spend most of their lives — must be good, too.
		The kokanee in the Sammamish River are part a late run which spawns from November through January.

	kingcountyjournal.com - Rare kokanee spawning in Sammamish River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Kokanee are rare, and one of the three local runs was declared functionally extinct in a report issued last year by King County, which called for further study of the surviving populations in order to better coordinate conservation efforts.
		The kokanee that are currently spawning have come back to the river only in recent years, Berge said, but they have been shown to be a native, rather than a transplanted species.
		According to a county Department of Natural Resources and Parks report in October 2003, which Berge co-wrote, kokanee spawn in the larger tributaries of the Sammamish River from September to November, and in tributaries to Lake Sammamish from late November to early January.

		The historical range of bull trout extended from the McCloud River in California to the Yukon River in Alaska, west of the Continental Divide within the contiguous United States except in tributaries of the Saskatchewan River, but east of the Continental Divide in the Saskatchewan and MacKenzie river systems in Canada.
		Migratory bull trout reside as adults and subadults in larger rivers (fluvial), lakes or reservoirs (adfluvial), or marine waters (anadromous), and spawn and rear as juveniles in headwater tributaries.
		Beach spawning of native char in Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish is improbable.

		The primary tributaries of Lake Washington are the Cedar and Sammamish Rivers.
		Issaquah Creek and the Sammamish River are the lake’s primary input and output, respectively.
		Scenario E – The maximum commercial fertilizer is used by the local farmers; they hay/silage is used for feed for the animals in the watershed (only the vegetables are an output); the waste from the horses/cows is not an input or output because they consume the P that was originally grown in the watershed.

	WDFW - Annual Report: 1998 Sammamish River Sockeye Salmon Fry Production Evaluation
		Because in some years as much as one third of adult sockeye spawning has occurred in Sammamish Basin tributaries, we also initiated fry monitoring in the Sammamish River in 1997.
		In this first year of the Sammamish study, we estimated that 953,000 sockeye fry were produced from the 60,000 adults that spawned in the fall of 1996.
		As in the previous year, we placed a barge that contained two inclined plane screen traps in the Sammamish River near Bothell (R.M. From January 31 to April 25 1998, we operated the traps on 61 nights.
