Description: This is Seattle NSP’s birth place, and one of the finest places to skate. It’s a 2.8 mile asphalt track around a beautiful lake on one side and gorgeous park setting on the other.

The trail is divided in the middle, and the common thought would be, left goes one way and right goes the other. Not so here, for skatering you would want to roll in a counter clockwise direction and stay to the right side of the trail. The left side is for the pedestrians and strollers, they can go in either direction on their side of the trail.

Skater’s be nice, we have to share our side of this wonderful trail with the bicycles.

Skate rentals are available at Gregg’s Greenlake Cycle,7007 Woodlawn Ave N E (206) 523-1822 or www.greggscycles.com

Hazards: The only hazards here are the people, and people with dogs (with long leashes).

Directions: For those using Map Quest type in Gregg’s Greenlake Cycle address (7007 Woodlawn Ave N E Seattle, WA ) and Map Quest will put you on the east side of the lake near the main entrance

If you’re looking at a city map, just go about 5 miles north of downtown Seattle and you’ll
see a small spot of blue, that’s it. Gregg’s Greenlake Cycle's address (above) is a good double check.
