Confirmed from Harvard Road Trailhead'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.
Popular trail for walking and biking, with access to the Spokane River.
What runners say about Harvard Road Trailhead
“The trail is well maintained and clean the other people are courteous and just want to enjoy their experience”
“Recently re-done Centennial Trail goes for miles in either direction with Great Views and Wildlife!”
“Very peaceful, what a wonderful walk this was I enjoy coming out here in clearing my head.”
“The trail in that area is mostly flat so it's great for easy walks.”
First time at this trailhead along the Centennial & I really liked it. It's not as secluded as some areas but I didn't mind that. It seems like a very flat part of the trail that would be great for bike riding with little kids.
June 2024, I'll comment about the trailhead as I didn't really go on the trail it's self, I went to take photos along the river. There was parking and it was tidy. There is a bathroom/restroom there, the 'long drop' kind. I didnt go inside. Area felt safe when I was there.
Good parking super close to the trail. Walk, bike or bring your dog along. Beautiful and peaceful walk along the river. This place has a toilet, really nothing fancy - bring your own hand sanitize and I suggest have toilet paper in your pocket.
Lot's of parking, and a restroom, makes this a good place to jump on the Centennial Trail.
