East Lake Sammamish Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This path follows the shore of Lake Sammamish, providing views of the water as it goes. Because of the corridor's history as a railway, the path is paved for most of the trip and is nearly flat. This trail connects Redmond and Issaquah and is popular with cyclists, runners, dog walkers, and hikers.

The route has been built in stages, with the first leg opening to the public in 2006 and the last 3.6-mile section set to be paved in 2020, thanks to a variety of collaborations and years of community support.

Lake Sammamish

Highlight • Lake

Lake Sammamish is a seven-mile-long freshwater lake situated just east of Lake Washington. The area around the lake holds cultural significance as a gathering place for at least four Native American tribes. It is now part of a 512-acre day-use park, Lake Sammamish State Park.
