We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Centennial Trail Ft. Meade Trailhead yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
What runners say about Centennial Trail Ft. Meade Trailhead
“The person that takes care knows what they are doing beautiful hike.”
Bunch of nice trails if there’s not horse poop everywhere. And a gravel path around ft. Meade. Springtime is definitely the best time to ride. Sturgis has trails all around the town. This trailhead has access to multiple of them and some historic features to check out along the way.
The person that takes care knows what they are doing beautiful hike. The people on their bikes were nice and friendly. I could be there all day highly recommend
Great piece of history that the public can use. Nice trails and a local favorite. Hike, walk, run, bike this beautiful trail system.
First ride in the hills was amazing. Seen some wildlife and the tails were nice and clean!
