Good ride that connects you to the Centennial Trail. Nice and wide with easy road crossings
Trail was well maintained and had great scenery. Perfect location next to hotels for those traveling to the area. Preferred it for running over biking.
From Phoenix visiting the area. Good trail that’s nice and wide. Good shade. Has porta potties at both parking areas. Will do this trail again.
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
I started in Tetonia. If I were to do it again, I would start in Ashton. The gentle elevation change is upwards from Ashton for a few miles. The Tetons are in your view in that direction. There is very little shade on the trail. The trail is hard dirt and gravel. Gravel bikes or mtn bikes suggested. No services on the trail. Traveling thru Ag country mostly flat. Biggest hills are on the detour road.
Coming From Warm River Campground, the Trail goes up gently 3.5 miles to the collapsed Tunnel. The trail continues till about mile 6 all along with great views of the river and deep canyon. I continued riding till about mile 12.5 and returned. After about mile 6, the trail leveled off and continued thru cattle pastures and flat land with 2 ponds. The trail was mostly hard dirt with gravel. A Gravel bike or Mountain Bike would be suitable bike. No services or water on the route.
First time for this bike trail. We did pretty much the entire trail and found it very nice in areas and not so nice in others. One particular part of the trail just abruptly ended at the river with a Trail Closed for winter sign and this was in late June. The parts of the trail that wind through the city parks is nice but brief and there are several busy street crossings that we didn't like so well. I feel 4 stars is deserving for this trail.
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.
We travel to Boise in Spring and Fall to ride the Greenbelt. We have recumbent trikes and are in our 70s. This trial is wonderful, scenic, safe, lots of places to stop for a restroom break. We have enjoyed the restaurants, coffee shops and live music along the trail too! The scenery down at Lucky Peak is gorgeous but can be windy so bring your jacket. The weekends can be busy with walkers and lots of baby strollers so if you want to go fast get there early in the morning and take off!!! The Fall colors are spectacular and the air is crisp. The perfect ride! 10/10
We had a wonderful ride on this trail. It is short but the scenery is beautiful as it winds along the Palouse River through woods and along farms.
From the jump this trail is unforgettable.
You start out by pedaling the 1.6 mile pitch-black Taft Tunnel, only seeing what’s illuminated by the lights you bring.
The temperature drops. You hear nothing but the sound of your spinning wheels and the echoes of dripping water and distant voices. Close to an out-of-body experience, no toad licking needed.
You emerge into blinding sunlight and stunning beauty including a waterfall.
You will cross sphincter-clenching train trestles and will encounter wildlife and more tunnels, though none as extreme as the Taft tunnel (which you will pass through again at the end of the ride).
The return shuttle trip will test those sphincters one last time, or you could choose to ride the gentle grade back up.
