Confirmed from Centennial Trailhead at Hwy 92 Overpass' 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.
Clean route for hiking or cycling, which in parts offers mountain views.
What runners say about Centennial Trailhead at Hwy 92 Overpass
“It’s always well maintained and dog friendly.”
“Beautiful views through most parts.”
“Weekends can be a problem due to the few bicyclists who don't understand that it's a multi-use trail for dogs, kids, skaters and walkers, not a trail for their personal training.”
Love this for a nice bike ride with the kids. Make sure you keep an eye out for the other bikers who come zooming through. My kids always find themselves in the path of the zooming bikes. Beautiful views through most parts. You can veer off the path and grab some food in downtown Lake Stevens. Wheelchair accessible.
We went biking there. The part we went does not have much interesting to see for the kids, except two handsome horses walking along the trail. There is a slight rise toward north, which wasn't obvious until you turned around and zoomed back. The condition of the trail is nice.
It's a beautiful trail. Weekends can be a problem due to the few bicyclists who don't understand that it's a multi-use trail for dogs, kids, skaters and walkers, not a trail for their personal training.
Only about 10 parking spaces, honey bucket, 1 picnic table and quick, easy access to the Centennial trail.
