I wish we had this nice of a trail system in every state!! It runs from the Spokane to Coeur d' Alene. I believe someone mentioned it was 44 miles long, but that could be wrong.

Fam. Ready to walk the trail.

I grew up on this trail. My mom has a photo of my sister and I in matching Bloomsday attire, walking this trail after the race sometime in May. I was 8, sister was 6. And we went for what I thought was hours walking this trail. Flash forward to bike rides and roller blades and first dates, and picnics along this trail. I have spent so much time on this trail. It is the most home type feeling walking, running, biking, and enjoying the beauty of it. The Centennial Trail is a nearly 40-mile paved recreational trail for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. The trail stretches from Sontag Park in Nine Mile Falls, Washington to the Washington / Idaho state line. It continues another 24 miles beyond the Washington state border into Idaho as the North Idaho Centennial trail through Post Falls and into Coeur d'Alene. We decided that during this isolation time that we needed to get out of the house. I have a 6 year old and BOY are we both stir crazy. I mean there is only so much Mickey Mouse Roadster, boxed wine and homeschooling a mama can handle. Can I get a Hellls YA. So I wanted to drive to the WalMart in Post Falls, because WalMart pickup is life and it was the only one available and then was like well, lets get to go sushi, eat it in the car. Then go walk the trail. We live right by where the trail is on Hamilton in Spokane so we started there, walked a bit, then got in the car. So that is what we did. We road tripped. Pink sunnies, music blaring, all the way to the Post Falls WalMart. Grabbed our goodies. Grabbed our sushi, and headed to the trail in CDA. My hubby has a back injury so we only went about a mile before turning around but the water was beautiful, the lake is amazing, the views are incredible. People are out laughing and walking their dogs and trying to enjoy themselves during a very trying time. We made the most of it by playing an "Afternoon Walk Vibes," playlist on spotify and walking this amazing trail. Get outside when you can people. Our region gives us the best of the best of the PNW.

A pedestrian bridge that leads you away from Gonzaga U..heading towards city center

Discovered the trail was just outside of the hotel where I stayed. It's a long trail but I just walked about about a mile and half passing Gonazago, heading over a pedestrian bridge to the other side of the river. The trail goes along the river and at some point it meanders through the city. It's a solid surface, so you can ride a bike, walk the dog, take a stroller. There are areas where you walk beneath trees which helps keep certain areas of the trail cool on a hot day. Depending on the direction...if you walk towards Spokane, you can get some really pretty pictures of the city down river. Lot's of spots to stop and take some really beautiful panoramic shots. I'd wear mosquito repellent. I got a bite on my arm but that's what you get around water areas. Truly a really nice trail. Lot's of people were using it. There were benches all along the trail and some trash containers.

I have done the Centennial Trail many times throughout the years and this year was the first time I completed all 39 miles of the trail in the same year. It is peaceful and fun, but it is also recommended to have a walking partner, since I did 3/4 of the trail by myself. Definitely recommended for outdoor activities.

Beautiful.

Living by the Centennial Trail for years it does become a part of your life. The trail is good for walking, running, and even biking. My favorite part is by the Minnehaha Park where the trail is parallel to the Spokane river. If you catch the trail at the right time you might be able to catch the rowing team do what they do best......row :) The Centennial Trail has become a part of my weekend routine and I recommend it to everyone. Happy trails to you!!!!!!!!!!

under the bridge where the ducks are really aggressive

Absolutely stunning - must do if you are in the area. I could not believe this was a free park with…read moreso much to see and explore. Lucky residents and visitors! They have lots of areas to explore including a massive rose garden, manicured and sculpted gardens, green house, and Japanese gardens. Plan to spend at least 2 hours here to take it all in. Parking - plenty of free parking in lots surrounding the gardens.

This is a gorgeous park and botanical garden bustling with people and butterflies and life!…read moreWe stopped here to have some lunch under the covered picnic area and were surrounded by green grass and the sound of children playing at the nearby playground. There was a cool breeze through the canopies on a very warm day and garbage cans to dispose of our leftovers. When we stumbled upon the gorgeous flower gardens, I could not believe it. There were multiple gardeners working outside of the conservatory and although it was closed, I can't imagine that there was anything more beautiful inside than what we saw outside. We were able to sit over at the benches and rally enjoy the fountain and manicured flowers. There was a large, veryrude family that did come through who wanted to scream at their kids and then try to take photographs in front of the flowers like a happy family. Then allow their smaller children to stomp through the flowers and scream loudly while they stared at their phones. And there were of course at least two young ladies posing for "the gram" that picked flowers and made obnoxious gestures in ridiculously skimpy clothes... I guess those types of things can't be helped these days and they are no reflection on the garden itself, just be prepared for your peace to be interrupted. We also made a quick stop at the Rose garden which I did not find to be quite as beautiful but smelled lovely... There were just too many bugs and it was there were just too many bugs and it was far too warm to spend much time there. If I lived closer to this park, I would come everyday to listen to the sound of the fountain and appreciate the beauty of the topiaries and flowers and I would recommend a stop here for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

I didn't get a chance to see the rest of the park due to the fact that I was her Maid of Honor and it was drizzling outside. I loved the fact that the gazebo was so large. The wedding was fantastic and the reception immediately after went off without a hitch. On my next visit I hope to see more of the park!

Mission Park is a 13 acre park very conveniently located walking distance from Gonzaga University…read moreand the heart of the Logan neighborhood. If you find yourself on campus and looking for a more kid friendly area (aka slides and splash pads) I would recommend a walk on down to the park! It has a large bank of tennis courts (with evening play available due to the lights!). It also has a pool! Many times when I've been here there is some kind of swimming competition occurring in the pool. Last time I stopped by they had some new fitness play equipment for adults. I have an interest in unique playground equipment so I thought this was pretty cool considering the retirement facility located right on the edge of the park. You can grab picnic supplies at the nearby Safeway or takeout from the nearby Thai restaurant and enjoy the beautiful summer weather in Spokane. I frequently see people picnicking here. One really important part of Mission Park that I must mention is the memorial to Otto Zehm. He was a mentally-ill man killed by the Spokane police in 2006. The simple memorial was placed in 2012 as part of a settlement with the city of Spokane. As a community it is important to remember the legacy of Otto Zehm and I think a visit to this memorial is an important visit for any local or tourist.
