Lake station (CTA)

Lake (also known as Lake/State) is an 'L' station on the CTA's Red Line in the Chicago Loop that is part of the State Street Subway. Lake is a transfer station between the Red Line and the Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines at the State/Lake station and the Blue Line via the Pedway. In December 2014, Lake had an average of 20,482 weekday passenger entries, making it the busiest 'L' station.

Lake is linked to the Millennium Station via a Chicago Pedway connection that can be accessed at its Randolph exit.

On November 20, 2009, the pedway connecting the unpaid portions of Lake and Washington stations reopened to service.

This station was originally part of the now defunct Washington station, but they were separated on June 2, 1996 due to the renovation project of the Randolph-Washington mezzanine and Lake became an independent station on November 18, 1997 in order to better facilitate transfers between the Red Line subway and the elevated State/Lake station.
