Embark on the Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop, a moderate hiking route that circles the vibrant waters of Lake Union. This 8.8 miles (14.2 km) journey will have you gaining 516 feet (157 metres) in elevation, taking approximately 3 hours and 47 minutes to complete. As you hike, you will enjoy continuous waterfront views, glimpses of the Seattle skyline, and pass by iconic landmarks like Gas Works Park, offering a unique urban oasis.
While the trail is generally well-marked, it can be helpful to use a GPS or keep the lake in view to stay on track. Be mindful of street crossings, especially when you pass through the Eastlake and Fremont areas. This route is also dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry companion along for the adventure.
This loop is a fantastic way to experience Seattle's blend of urban landscape and natural beauty. You will traverse through lively neighborhoods, connect several parks, and get to watch seaplanes take off and land. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Seattle houseboats and the historic Fremont Bridge as you explore the unique character of the area.
