Confirmed from Armar Trailhead, Centennial Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wide, forested, paved trail that cyclists and walkers can use, along with runners, and equestrians.
What runners say about Armar Trailhead, Centennial Trail
“Parking lot is pretty big and clean but I see it's used by people living in their vehicles.”
“Tons of parking, outhouses (not the cleanest, but glad they're an option), and beautiful fall leaves.”
beautiful running trail. It's paved with trees lining the way. Run south because if you go north, you end up running along the side of the road.
It's paved and that's better on my cleats. Like all trailheads don't leave valuables in your vehicle.
Beautiful trail. Lots of shade, and very wide. I recommend the trail head off exit 212
I took my dog there a trip by my house. We can walk through there all the time.
