The Spokane River Centennial Trail begins at the Idaho state line and ends at Nine Mile Falls, Washington. The one-of-a-kind Trail has its metropolitan center section in downtown Spokane, and branches out to more rural east and west endpoints. The Trail’s path generally follows the contours of the Spokane River, allowing access for many types of outdoor non-motorized recreational activities. Visitors can walk, run, skate, or bike on the Spokane River Centennial Trail. Or just enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, abundant wildlife, and gentle flow of the river.
