Confirmed from Lake to Lake Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Scenic nature area featuring steep hiking trails leading to lake views.
What runners say about Lake to Lake Trailhead
“Short scenic trail, feels like your out of the city when the road is just 200 yards down.”
A secluded trailhead with steep ascending into the dense forest, and lake view at your back. Roadside parking is very limited.
An awesome trail close to Redmond and Bellevue. Limited off street parking at the start of trail, but u can park further down just by the road I would recommend hiking poles as it has a pretty steep ascent and descent, definitely not for those with bad knees.
This trail can be accessed multiple ways. Larsen Blueberry patch is is a nice break in trail. Also from Walmart one can come walk their dog etc from the parking lot. There’s water but it’s stagnant and the huge pond is not for dogs. There’s parking scattered around depending what part of the trail your at.
I'm not really a hiking person but this place is amazing. I been here a few times and is always clean. The parking is kind of hard to find if you come in the afternoon or weekends that's all .
