The Spokane River Centennial Trail offers a dynamic touring cycling experience, guiding you along the river through a fascinating blend of urban and natural settings. You'll pedal past the iconic Spokane Falls in Riverfront Park, then transition into areas featuring high desert ponderosa pine forests and striking basalt canyons, with continuous river views accompanying much of your ride. The trail's predominantly paved surface makes for a smooth journey, though some segments present a moderate challenge with their elevation changes.
Planning your ride is straightforward, as the trail is highly accessible with 18 marked trailheads, many offering parking and restrooms. While the full 20.2-mile (32.5 km) route with 575 feet (175 metres) of elevation gain can be completed in about 1 hour and 53 minutes, you can easily choose shorter sections to suit your fitness and time. The trail is suitable for most touring cyclists, and its ADA-accessible nature ensures a wide range of users can enjoy it.
What truly sets this trail apart is its seamless connection to the North Idaho Centennial Trail, creating a continuous paved path stretching approximately 64 miles to Coeur d'Alene. Beyond cycling, it's a multi-use pathway popular for walking and inline skating, and it passes through culturally significant sites like the 1974 World's Fair location in downtown Spokane, offering a unique blend of recreation and history.
