The great thing about Pacific Northwest cyclists is that they are devoted to getting out even as the weather shifts with autumn temperatures.

As many cyclists know and love, the Burke-Gilman Trail runs 18 miles from Seattle to Kenmore with plenty of scenery throughout the trail. This autumn makes for a timely backdrop for a weekend day trip from Seattle along the trail with a couple of great stops along the way in Kenmore.

Log Boom Park, one of the Burke-Gilman Trail’s three access points located at 61st Ave NW and NE 175th St., is a 12-acre park with over 1,200 feet of shoreline on Kenmore’s Lake Washington waterfront. The public dock is fantastic place to watch the sea planes, or stretch your legs with a stroll down the Kenmore History Path at the park.

Located just a mile east of Log Boom Park on the trail at 7324 NE 175th St. in Kenmore is the 192 Brewing Company. Peddle into the brewery’s Lake Trail Taproom that serves Washington wines and 14 beers and ciders on tap that are crafted right her in the state. Whether a stout or an IPA is the incentive for the ride up, the taproom is dog friendly if cyclists bring Fido along.
