This path follows the shore of Lake Sammamish, providing views of the water as it goes. Because of the corridor's history as a railway, the path is paved for the most of the trip and is nearly flat. This trail connects Redmond and Issaquah and is popular with cyclists, runners, dog walkers, and hikers.

The route has been built in stages, with the first leg opening to the public in 2006 and the last 3.6-mile section set to be paved in 2020, thanks to a variety of collaborations and years of community support.
