Can I go to East Lake on weekends without taking the East Lake Tunnel?

As far as I know, if you want to go to East Lake, it is ok not to take the East Lake Tunnel. There are many entrances to East Lake, so you can choose other ways, such as reaching the vicinity of East Lake through surrounding roads or bridges. But the specific driving route still depends on your starting point and destination. I suggest you check the map in advance or use navigation software to choose the most suitable road to reach your destination. I hope it helps you.
