The Head of the Lake is a 3 mile race. The race starts in Lake Union at the College Club dock with views of the Seattle skyline and the Space Needle and follows the shoreline past Pocock Rowing Center and under the University Bridge. It continues east through Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut into Union Bay. After passing Fox Point at the Washington Arboreteum and still heading east towards Lake Washington, the course follows a buoyed 3-point turn heading north and continues northwest towards Husky Stadium and Conibear shell house. The finish line is about 200 meters outside the entrance to Conibear Shell house. View the course map
