East Lake Sammamish Trail

The East Lake Sammamish Trail follows a historic railroad route along the eastern shore of Lake Sammamish through lakeside communities in the cities of Redmond, Sammamish, and Issaquah. The 11-mile-long trail, part of the locks to lakes corridor, provides excellent views of the lake and Cascade foothills and is popular with bicyclists, joggers, and walkers. The ELST is being upgraded in phases to its fully paved, master-planned design with soft-surface shoulders. It intersects the Issaquah-Preston Trail in Issaquah near I-90, providing a connection east to the Mountains to Sound Greenway.
