Lake Forest Park Gem: The Burke-Gilman Trail

Lake Forest Park’s segment of the Seattle Burke-Gilman Trail seems to always be in the news  - speed

limits, radar guns, salmon considerations, right of ways, etc….

The Burke-Gilman Trail is part of Seattle’s larger Urban Trails System and a beautiful segment of it happens to travel along Lake Washington right through Lake Forest Park.

The Burke-Gilman Trail travels all the way from North Beach in Ballard to Kenmore with only one small missing link around the Locks in Ballard.  It is part of the Cheshiahud Loop (Lake Union Loop) as well. Many people like to commute via bike on the trail and the Lake Forest Park segment is quite nice because of the abundance of trees.  Here is a great map of the Burke-Gilman Trail:  http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/burkegilmantrailmaps.htm
