About the trail

The North Idaho Centennial Trail runs from Coeur d'Alene (Higgins Point) to the Idaho-Washington state line, where it connects with the Spokane River Centennial Trail for an extended ride into Washington. The trail follows the northern shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene and then the Spokane River heading west.

One of the best things about this trail: you can start right from our shop on Sherman Ave. Head east toward Higgins Point for lake views, or west toward Post Falls and Washington. Either direction is great and eliminates the need to transport bikes to a trailhead.
