Confirmed from Centennial Trailhead at Wade Road'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.
Park offering gravel-lot parking, kid-friendly hikes, a picnic table, and trails for walking and biking.
What runners say about Centennial Trailhead at Wade Road
“So relaxing to take in the fresh air, see the beautiful surroundings while walking on the paved trails.”
Small gravel lot. Maybe spade for 5 cars. Lots of signs about being a high prowl area. No bathrooms or garbage can, but there is a little picnic table down the hill. Trail is paved and flat. Great for walking or biking. Even saw a couple foxes on a fall afternoon walk!
Fall colors are out and beautiful! Quilceda Creek is running strong but no evidence of spawn.
Such a nice walk. Quiet and relaxing. Passed a few people walking and biking.
Beautiful! Just be careful to lock up your valuables. I have heard of ppl losing their belongings at trailheads. This trailhead is kinda hidden so it doesn't attract those type of ppl but then it is hard to find for the genuine folk who Wana visit!
