A nice short flat ride from Gas Works park to Golden Gardens. This is about as easy as it gets in Seattle. Lots of trail. If Ballard roads make you nervous you can return the way you came, back over the locks.

## Notes
* On Sundays the Femont Market blocks the road to the bridge. Simply go around by using the parking lot toward the canal.

* The busy streets in Ballard is called the *Missing Link*. We are hoping someday to have the Burke Guilman Trail safely bypass this ugly stretch of roads.

* If you are not comfortable with busy roads we recommend you return back across the locks.

* Bicycles must be walked across the locks.
