Confirmed from 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.
This paved walkway following the Spokane River and stretching into Idaho.
What runners say about Centennial Trail
“Beautiful,pretty much secluded amongst many wooded n areas to be on river in virtual seclusion.”
“Very peaceful and an easy hike.”
Nice trail! Has a few gaps but, can be ridden from the " 9 mile dam community area into Spokane ( the hillier part ) " and well into Idaho. Much of the route is in sight of The Spokane River.
Spent a nice afternoon walking the trails and looking at the new bridge. My boyfriend made the concrete for the two new bridges so we went to look at the finished project. Beautiful ❤️
Great place to walk, ride a bike or rent a scooter. It is paved and well maintained
Beautiful, well kept paved walking and biking trail. This trail has become a weekly destination for my dog and me. Never too crowded but always some friendly faces to say hello along the way.
