Wow, that trail was incredible! We started at Log Boom Park and rode all the way to Gas Works Park on Lake Union. It was a 24-mile round trip, and it was such a lovely trail with amazing views. We’re definitely going back again! The only thing that bugged me was that a lot of people were walking or stopping on the right side of the trail, blocking the path for us. It would be great if everyone could be considerate and stay on the right side when going in the same direction as everyone else. It’s like driving people, haha!

A picturesque trail perfect for both biking and running. It's entirely paved and impeccably maintained.

The bikers who ride this trail are completely ignorant and negligent to anything but themselves. One woman today, literally ran into my wife as we walked along the sidewalk on 40th Ave because even though there is a stop sign on either side FOR THE BIKE TRAIL all of these entitled bikers choose to completely ignore them. I’ve witnessed numerous of them nearly struck by cars. Odd world we live in when people don’t care about endangering others or themselves.

Road the trail from lake forest park to gasworks park. Awesome trail, paved, flat, beautiful scenery with lots of ebikes, bikes, dogwalkers, runners and walkers when the weather is nice.

Not a bad walk. Would be better if you had better views of the water and less traffic noise in parts but overall is an ok walk. May be better to cycle than walk to get to other parts of the trail faster.

The segment from Kenmore to Matthews beach is good for walking, running, or biking, as it's flat with minimal crossing streets. The views could be better (it's mostly people's backyards on this segment, to be honest), but it's still a good place for a long walk/ride/run. The trail supports about 3-4 people across, and traffic gets a little high on weekends, so if you go, be sure and mind your trail manners: Bikers - The speed limit is 15 mph and you have to yield to pedestrians. It is not uncommon to get buzzed by packs of road cyclists going way over 15. Runners - Stay to the right, even if the unofficial dirt path you want to run in is on the other side of the trail. I often see people running 2 wide on the left side just so 1 of them can be on the dirt and it creates lots of problems. Walkers - You have ultimate ROW, but please don't abuse it. If you want to stop and chat, move to the side so others can pass. Dog Walkers - Keep your pets close to you and on the right side of the trail if possible. I see near-collisions with dogs almost every time I go out. And please don't hang poop bags on fences.

This trail is an incredible oasis along the north shore of the lakes and cuts…walk scooter or just hang out!!

It’s beautiful with all its fall covered leaves. Wide enough path so nobody is near each other.
