Confirmed from Centennial Trail Southern End'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.

“Beautiful trail for running and biking.”

Beautiful trail for running and biking. Ideal for marathon training. There is plenty of parking by Centennial and 2nd st. There is also a huge kids play area near the south end of the trail.

★★★★★ — Maneesh , Jun 2024

The bridge is very easy to get to, just watch every where you put your hands when going through the fence, because there is some hard to see razor wire. Also walking is kind of dizzying because of how the ground moves very fast compared to the beams.

★★★★★ — Jimmy , Jun 2023

A great starting or ending point for enjoying the centennial trail. Ok amount of street parking in the area, and convenient for getting food or drink in town after a ride!

★★★★★ — Dane , Feb 2024

Great trail for a walk or a bike ride. My wife and I walk from Snohomish to Mile Marker 3 every so often. My daughter and I just rode from Snohomish to Lake Stevens. Nice and paved. It can be busy but bikes and pedestrians are accommodating to one another. Great ride, especially southbound.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
