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.[1]

This station was originally part of the 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.
