Location

State/Lake is an 'L' station serving the CTA's Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines on The Loop. It is located in the Chicago Loop at 200 North State Street. Like all Loop stations, it has two side platforms. The CTA offers farecard transfers between this station and the Lake subway station on the Red Line. Unlike most stations, there is no in-station transfer between directions.

State/Lake station opened on September 22, 1895, as part on the Lake Street Elevated Railroad's extension into the Chicago Loop that later became the north side of the Union Loop.^[2] State/Lake is the last station on this section of the Loop to retain many of its original features. ^{[citation needed]}

One of a series of videos "shot on iPhone 6" to feature in a 2015 Apple advertising campaign ^[3] features the short journey between Randolph/Wabash and State/Lake shot in time lapse.

In 2021, the CTA and the Chicago Department of Transportation proposed modernizing the station with the addition of a large glass canopy, accessibility, and large side platforms. However, no project schedule is provided.^[4][5][6][7]
