Me and my family grew up camping on Lake Chatcolet and biking this trail. We love making a stop in Harrison for the delicious ice cream at Harrison Creamery & Fudge Factory
We rode 8 miles from Mirabeau Park which is just east of Pines road to Freya. The trail is very nice however you lose it to streets in a few places which aren’t marked. East of Mirabeau you will find yourself dropped out onto Maringo Drive a quiet neighborhood street. In four blocks you’ll need to cross the very busy 4 lane traffic of Argonne Road, which has no marked crosswalk. Continue west on Maringo Drive which will drop you onto Upriver Drive. Again, there are no Centennial Trail signs to show you are following the correct route. Continue westbound until you arrive at Boulder Beach. From there you will find the actual trail with the signage resume.
This is so far a beautiful, we'll maintained trail, but there's some deep gravel and where it goes along a new highway being built there are a lot of construction trucks and no signage. Hopefully they'll put in more and bigger directional signs.
Rode the trail on June 15, 2025. Several spots need to be patched along rough spots from tree roots. Most rough spots and cracks are well marked but without regular maintenance this trail will keep getting worse. Ir should go without saying but DO NOT stop in the middle of the trail. Step or ride to the edge to make room for traffic. During my ride a group of adults and children literally blocked the whole trail and were clueless to anyone else on the trail. Be RESPECTFUL of others. There are too many other well maintained trails in the area to consider this trail an option.
This trail is essentially a bike-friendly highway connecting Dover and Sandpoint. It’s well-paved, well-maintained, and offers quick, safe access between the two communities. Along the way, you’ll pass essentials like gas stations, restaurants, and schools—making it practical for both recreation and commuting. It also runs close to several mountain bike trailheads, so whether you’re cruising to town or heading out for a more rugged ride, this path is a perfect starting point. Expect to see a mix of cyclists, runners, and walkers during the day. It’s a great asset to the area for locals and visitors alike.
Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.
We started in Akron and rode about 18 miles north. Loved it!!!
This trail is absolutely incredible. We rode Oct 15, so none of the local watering holes were open mid-week but will be open Fri-Sun. We saw a total of 10 bikers on our 20 mile ride and a few deer. Trail in impeccable shape.
It is difficult to rate this trail. I rode the trail from Seattle to Idaho during June of 2024 and experienced extreme highs and extreme lows. The ride from Fall City to Snoqualmie Pass was AMAZING - most beautiful ride I've every done. Most of the posted reviews are from riders that have only done this section. As you do a steady uphill climb your will pass rock climbers, amazing bridges, and a beautiful thick forest. Be prepared with headlights and a rain jacket as you go through the 2 + mile tunnel at Snoqualmie Pass. Once you exit the tunnel the landscape will start to change. You will still be in a forest, but it feels like a different type of forest. As you head east, the trees will slowly start to disappear as you will start to feel like your in the wild west - still beautiful but a different kind of beauty. When you reach Ellensburg, you better load up with water and food because things are about to get very tough. The ride from Ellensburg to Beverly is very remote - you will be way off the grid in the wild west (no trees) I recommend that you have some type of tracking device because you are about to enter an area where there is no water / food / people / nothing for about 40 miles. About 10-15 miles is deep sand that is very challenging to ride. I rode with 700 X 50 tires - I would recommend tires at least this wide or wider. If your riding tires any thinner it will be very challenging. Later you will ride on very rocky roads that were created for horses - not bikes. There is a fun downhill section through cliffs. MTB skills would be a plus here because there are sandy sections that suddenly appear and large rocks the size of footballs. This section is fun, but be prepared. There was a water pump that is used for horses that was located about a mile off the trail - my friend did some research and found the water pump. Make sure you carry lots of water you will be averaging about half the speed that you normally ride at. I'm sure the sand and rocky sections vary throughout the year, but it was tough when we did the ride. I'm sure most people don't know about the water pump - so do some research. You will get excited when you see the bridge at Beverly - nice place to take pictures. I recommend after crossing the bridge to ride the extra 2-3 miles to get food and water at the gas station that is east of the bridge - there will be no water or food from here to Othello. The road from Beverly to Othello was very sandy and rocky. There were rocky sections that are unrideable even for expert MTB riders. One this day it was very hot, and my friends and I struggled to make it to Othello as we rode from Ellensburg to Othello in one day. From Othello to Idaho you will continue to ride on very, very, very, very rocky roads. You will wish you had a MTB or fatbike. There are some very beautiful sections where I felt like I was in a scene from "Dances with Wolves". But you will still be very off the road and will feel like you are a early pioneer traveling across the country by horse and wagon. This ride is not for everyone. Some people will love it, some people will hate it. I have to admit that I was cussing at the rocky roads. This ride will be like no ride you have ever done before. Be prepared if your going to ride the full trail. A little information - the group I was riding with was riding across the country from Seattle to Washington DC on bikes that where fully loaded with heavy gear.
We ( recumbent trike & e-bike) headed West from the Kiwanis park. Turned around after 9km as the surface was really tough on the trike. There’s 2 good wheel tracks for bikes, but the trike had to ride partially in the coarse trail ballast. Scenic area with farm views and a huge windmill farm in the distance.
Went from about Plumber to will past Medimont over a few days period. 20 mile increments. Stopped at the bar in Harrison. Fun little place. Also rode the trail in town a little bit. That was ok.
