Burke-Gilman Trail

The Burke-Gilman Trail runs 20 miles from Golden Gardens Park in Seattle to Bothell where it intersects the Sammamish River Trail. Part of the “locks to lakes corridor,” the Burke-Gilman is a paved, off-road route over its entire length, with the exception of a roadway segment in Ballard.

The trail follows a historic railroad route and passes the Hiram Chittenden Locks, Fremont Canal Park, Gas Works Park, University of Washington, Magnuson Park, and the Log Boom Park in Kenmore. The trail – highly popular with cyclists, joggers, skaters, and strollers – also serves as an important weekday bicycle commuter route.
