The Head of the Lake is a 3-mile course that starts in Lake Union at the College Club dock and ends near the UW Conibear Shellhouse. The course begins along the northeastern shore of Lake Union and winds past the Pocock Rowing Center and under the University Bridge. It continues east through Portage Bay and the famous Montlake Cut. Upon entering Union Bay and Lake Washington, rowers maneuver around a buoyed 3-point turn that takes them northwest towards the finish line near Husky Stadium and the Conibear Shellhouse.
The Cougars return to the Head of the Lake for the first time since the 2017 regatta, when all three WSU eights finished top three, including a win for the third varsity eight.
