Flaming Geyser State Park is a State Park of Washington, USA, named after a pair of geysers. The first is a natural gas vent that burns with a low methane flame, while the second is a bubbling geyser in a natural spring. This Park lies within the Green River Gorge Conservation Area of King County, with challenging rapids and chutes along the river. Its two satellite parks include Nolte State Park and Kanaskat-Palmer State Park. The developed area of the Park is 480 acres (1.9 km²) in size and spans across 3 miles (4.8 km) of the Green River. Most of the park is undeveloped, comprising well over 2,000 acres (8.1 km²). There are both water and land activities for everyone. Many fields sprawl along the park as well as fishing spots for salmon, steelhead, and trout.

The Park is managed by Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.
