✨ Spent Labor Day on a 20-mile ride along the Lake Sammamish Trail. 🚴♀️☀️ Inspired to share my top five Seattle-area bike rides. Which one is your favorite?
Top 5 Recommended Bike Rides
1. Lake Sammamish Trail
Flat, scenic, and perfect for long rides along the water. Connects Issaquah to Redmond with plenty of views and wildlife.
2. Burke-Gilman Trail
Seattle’s classic ride—stretching from Ballard through UW and all the way to Bothell. A must-do for every cyclist.
3. Mercer Island Loop
A local favorite for training rides. The "hot lap". A rolling 13-mile loop with lake views, shaded roads, and just the right amount of hills.
4. Lake Washington Loop
The big one—up to 50 miles around Lake Washington. You’ll hit Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, and Kirkland with endless waterfront stretches.
5. Snoqualmie Valley Trail
A more rustic, gravel-packed trail that winds through farmland, rivers, and forest. Peaceful and less crowded than urban trails.
