This is one of my all-time favorite rides! Starting at Denny Park downtown you go through South Lake Union on a brand-new protected bike lane, then onto the fabulous protected bike lane that runs along Westlake (which opened in 2016). Next is the flat, serene and lovely Ship Canal multi-use trail, which is much less hectic than the more famous Burke Gilman trail across the water. Continue on protected bike lanes all through Magnolia to the entrance for Discovery Park, which is currently a bicyclist’s paradise because park roads are mostly closed to car traffic due to the pandemic. The fairly steep ride to the top of the park is well worth the view.
