Liberty Lake Stateline Trail

Amazing adventure

March, 2024 by hembreerc

Beautiful, no homeless, gang tags, excessive graffiti or garbage. Pure nature at its best!

North Idaho Centennial Trail

Could be better marked

October, 2023 by acewickwire

Very busy trail on Sunday afternoon. Was a beautiful afternoon. Trail along the lakeshore is nicely paved but shares the road. Not a main road and traffic moved slowly. Started the trail at Cheamkwet Park and rode east. Trail is marked but not that well. Stopped a number of times to check our route. Part of the trail travels along a residential street with a fair amount of traffic. We only rode a few miles and returned to parking and then went west for a couple miles. Fewer users that direction. Wide paved path. Would be worthy of another ride next time in area.

North Idaho Centennial Trail

September ride

October, 2023 by lindarkv

Wrote this trail from the city of Coeur d’Alene to the Washington border in early September. Some nice sections along the lake, but also some rather boring very exposed sections closer to the Washington border.

Prairie Trail (ID)

Flat, smooth.

September, 2023 by junkforwayne

Flat and smooth, not exactly scenic - but it was a pleasant little ride.

Spokane River Centennial State Park Trail

Take West part it’s fantastic

September, 2023 by mikhaila

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.

Long Bridge Trail

Excellent for a short ride out of Sandpoint. I didn't go all the way down to Sagle. I was riding my e-bike and wasn't sure if I should be riding on a trail that says no motorized vehicles. I wanted to be respectful to the rules of the trail.

Sandpoint Byway Trail

Can’t ride the whole trail

July, 2023 by reasthope2_tl

I road the trail with a recumbent trike. About 2 miles down the trail is a gate. One can go around the gate, but it’s a bit rocky. I had to lift the trike around. Just a bit further the trail is washed out. There seems to be a bypass trail, but only hikers will be able to manage. This was disappointing, since it’s a really nice trail.

Liberty Lake Stateline Trail

Car broken into ; dangerous parking lot

November, 2022 by jlpotee

Our car was broken into; The drivers window was shattered out and everything was stolen inside the vehicle including all our tools and our very expensive sound system. There are no lights, no cameras, and the entire area is very sketchy at night. I would not recommend parking your vehicle in that parking lot at all.

Spokane River Centennial State Park Trail

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.

US-95 Trail

Biking the 95 Trail

June, 2021 by mdp1954

Well, the good thing about this trail is that it's paved and smooth. Otherwise, the trail is rather bleak, no scenery to speak of, unless you like highways. The Coeur d' Alene part is pretty much a frustration of cross traffic, stoplights, and more traffic. If you start off in Coeur d' Alene heading north, watch for right turn traffic at all the stoplights. Once you're away from CdA and past Hayden you lose the cross traffic and the ride proceeds with few interruptions. In Athol, the trail begins/ends at the Super 1. In CdA the trail begins/ends in some parking lot off Haycraft Ave. If you want to skip all the traffic lights and traffic you can start your ride from the Prairie Shopping Center. You won't miss much. Or go one block east to Government Way and ride that from Appleway to Prairie Ave. And you may want to plan your ride on a cool day. There is no shade on this route. There is a detour at E. Garwood for about a mile or so. (At least at the time of this writing.) Taken on a cool day and skipping the traffic in CdA it can be a nice straight forward ride.
