This Lake Coeur d'Alene – North Idaho Centennial Trail loop offers a fantastic touring cycling experience, winding along the Spokane River and the northern edge of Lake Coeur d'Alene. You'll enjoy diverse scenery, from the landscaped beauty of Riverstone Park to the expansive water views near Higgins Point, a known spot for bald eagle sightings. The route is a difficult 45.3-mile (72.9 km) ride with 2388 feet (728 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking about 4 hours and 32 minutes, making it a rewarding challenge for cyclists.
The trail is predominantly paved with asphalt, ensuring a smooth ride for your touring bicycle. You'll find many accessible entry points and parking options within Coeur d'Alene, as the trail integrates well with the city's amenities. Numerous rest areas and scenic overlooks are available along the way, perfect for breaks. Consider an early start to make the most of the day and enjoy the cooler temperatures, especially during warmer months.
This loop is part of the broader North Idaho Centennial Trail, which connects to the Spokane River Centennial Trail at the Idaho/Washington state line, offering possibilities for even longer rides. While the Centennial Trail itself is generally easy to moderate, this specific loop's length and elevation make it a more demanding outing. It's a great way to explore the region's natural beauty and urban integration on two wheels.
