Welcome to Friends of the Centennial Trail
Friends of the Centennial Trail advocate for maintenance and completion of the Spokane River Centennial Trail, connecting trails and adjacent park lands. This 64-mile, State Park, two-state National Recreation Trail is a treasure for Inland Northwest residents and visitors. Over 40 miles in eastern Washington span from the WA/ID state line through Liberty Lake, Spokane Valley, Spokane, Riverside State Park and Nine Mile Falls, Washington. Heading east from the state line, 24 miles extend through Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Centennial Trail initial construction period between 1989-1991 was in celebration of the Washington State Centennial. The Trail generally follows the contours of the Spokane River, allowing access for many types of outdoor non-motorized recreational activities. All miles are completely paved; thirty-eight miles are Class 1 Trail, separated from vehicular traffic.
A Washington State Discover Pass is only required on vehicles parked at Centennial Trail "Trailheads" within Riverside State Park. The pass is not required at other trailheads (Maringo, Islands, Barker, etc.).
The Spokane River Centennial Trail needs your support! Join us to help ensure the care and keeping of this incredible recreational resource.
Trail Sections
The western-most section of the Centennial Trail (Miles 27-39) begins at the south side of TJ Meenach Bridge, behind Spokane Falls Community College, in Riverside State Park. It ends at the Nine Mile Falls Recreation Area. This is by far the most challenging section of the Trail. Users are rewarded for their exertion with breathtaking views of the river and the wild beauty of Riverside State Park.
