Sammamish River Pedestrian Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

This is where you switch between the Burke Gilman and Sammamish River trails when cycling though the area. Best in the fall, when leaves are falling and the view opens up. A bit of a tight turn to the West when you want to get on the Burke Gilman trail, so adjust speed accordingly.

Log Boom Park (Tracy Owen Station)

Burke-Gilman Trail: Northwest Lake Washington

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Perfectly smooth cycle path along the northern lakefront of Lake Washington. Mostly it leads off the regular road along quiet residential areas, but here and there you get pretty nice views of the water.

Gas Works Park

Highlight • Monument

Gas Works Park was developed on the site of a former coal gasification plant on the shores of Lake Union, directly across from downtown Seattle. In 1965, the city purchased the 19-acre tract for parkland. The park, with its Great Earth Mound peak, was opened to the public ten years later (constructed from on-site excavated material). The location provides unsurpassed views of the lake and metropolitan skyline. The boiler house was converted into a picnic shelter with tables and fire grills, while an old exhauster-compressor structure was turned into an open-air play barn with a maze of brightly painted machinery for kids. In 2013, the Gas Works Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Burke Gilman Trail (inland section)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This is one of the core cycling trails in Seattle. It can take you all the way from the shore of Puget Sound to the north of Lake Washington, and even be pieced together with a cross-state trip, or used as a commuter route to get in and out of the city.
