Lake Sammamish Loop (Counterclockwise)

Routedetails

This is a nice, relatively easy to follow loop ride around Lake Sammamish. You will see views of the lake along route and get to visit a quaint coffee stop along the way. East Lake Sammamish has very nice views and West Lake Sammamish has a nice new bike lane on the west side of the road.

This route is ~24 miles and about 800 feet of elevation gain. It makes a great ride to do with a group as there are wide shoulders along most of the route. This route is meant to ride counterclockwise but can be done the other direction with some modifications around West Lake Sammamish.

# Route

* Start at Marymoor Park (East Parking Lot). There is a $1 fee to park here (cash only). Restrooms are open fall/spring/summer but there is a portable toilette during winter.
* Distance is 25 mi.  Elevation 888 ft.  No significant climbs (>150 ft gain/mile)
* There are great views of Lake Sammamish heading back into Redmond. If you have time, consider venturing into Gillman Village for a stop at the @poi[Issaquah Coffee House](1512987) 
* Be careful heading into Issaquah as traffic will pick up. When you get to mp 9.4 you will want to get off of the West Lake Sammamish trail and proceed through @slice[two traffic circles](d,15058.88,16035.91) -- use caution. The @slice[left turn](d,15601.85,15779.26) onto Newport Way (mp 9.7) is difficult so take time.  
* At @point[mp 13.4](d,21522.3) you will cross Gilman Blvd which is a busy road. There is a @point[cross walk](d,21639.87) nearby which can be used in case crossing is difficult. If you prefer, you can hop on @poi[East Lake Sammamish Trail](1513000) here rather than take the road. They will reconnect at mp 14.8 when you will get onto the trail. 
* At @point[mp 15.7](d,25271.62) you will need to exit the trail, use the crosswalk to get to the other side of the road, the continue toward Marymoor. Use caution.
