Background: My wife and I are in our 70's, I ride a recumbent, she rides a pedal assist E-bike.
We rode the entirely of this path, heading west out of downton Spokane the first day, and east from the same starting point the second day.
The ride west mixes scenery with challenge, at least for folks in our age group. Best to download the trail map from Traillink onto your phone or device, as there are a couple of spots where the trail is on paved roads for a stretch, and the transitions can be a bit tricky. There are some significant grades on parts of this trail, with my Wahoo cyclometer briefly registering 10% at times. All that said, this is a marvelous trail to ride, and the endpoint at a lake is a fine place for a picnic, getting water, using the restroom, and just kicking back for a bit. The path is in good repair, the scenery well worth the exertion.
The eastern leg (starting from downtown) is a breeze. Mildly rolling inclines along the river, smooth well maintained bike path, sounds of happy folks floating the river down below...good stuff for anyone from kids that have just learned to ride to older folks that love to ride but are not looking for an exhausting outing. My wife and I rode to the Idaho border, where the Idaho section of the trail picks up and heads for Coeur d'Alene. Though it lacks the physical challenge of the western leg of this trail, this section of the trail fits snugly into the "mighty fine" category. Enjoy!
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.
It's a lovely little trail but the paved section is very short with wonderful views of the valleys and mountains around you
I am not sure why people give it 2 stars. It is a long trail and definitely in a city it will have issues. But I took West part from Military Cemetery trailhead to Nine Miles Falls park and the trail was fantastic. Wonderful views, good pavement, but boy, it is not rails to trails for sure :-). Up and down hills. Not too bad but many would prefer ebike I guess.
No trail exist from boulder beach east a few miles and shoulders of the road have glass and debris. Very dangerous during high vehicle traffic times. There is a safer alternative but it is all roads and no trail.
Lots of detours! Nice view along the city river section but every direction there were detours. And then homeless coming out of the bushes.
We were able to ride the Curlew Lake section as well as the section north of the town of Curlew toward Danville for about 7 miles along the Kettle River. The trail crews have done an excellent job with maintaining the surface in these areas. We spoke with a volunteer who said the bridges for the washouts will be installed this Fall allowing more of the trail to be accessible again. There’s a dedicated crew of people who maintain this trail yearly. Well worth a trip to this part of the state to enjoy this hidden gem. Fall colors are glorious or a Spring ride along the shores of the flowing Kettle River make this a worthy multi season destination. The volunteers of Ferry County are proud of their trail and hope more folks will enjoy what they have tirelessly worked to create. tththihibeautiful scenic trail. We’ve been on it three times over the past few years
Great trail that includes both rural and urban scenery. Beautiful river views along the way and a few inclines on the west trail.
Paved, has areas that are flat, others with hills and curves, well maintained, off the road so vehicle traffic is not an issue, right along the Spokane River and you see and hear the river, benches, water fountains and restrooms along the trail in addition to mile markers. This is by the far the best trail and form of exercise I’ve had in years. Easy access to the trail along it’s 30+ miles, you can get off the trail and go to restaurants if you’d like. Highly recommend es.
Rode the whole route fully loaded on 38 mm tires and what a sweet cruise. The I was noisy but the river was sweet. loved the ride
The improved section of trail around Curlew lake was great but the majority of the trail was ballast to the town of Curlew and was either closed or unrideable. We wanted to do the trail from Curlew Lake to Danville but ended up going to Curlew on highway and then turning around. Scenery is great but multiple improvements needed for it to be a good trail.
