North Idaho Centennial Trail FoundationAbout the North Idaho
Centennial Trail Foundation

The North Idaho Centennial Trail project was put into motion in 1987. The first five miles of trail were dedicated in October of 1990 with the final link between Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls being completed in 1996. The trail, built by dedicated public funds, meanders for 24 miles from the Idaho/Washington state line along the Spokane River to Higgins Point on beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene.

The North Idaho Centennial Trail Foundation was established in 1989 as a non-profit organization to oversee the maintenance, stewardship and continued improvements of the trail. In addition, the Foundation’s efforts are directed to promoting, recommending, and assisting with the standardization of trail designs and construction in Kootenai County.
 
The Foundation also coordinates and shares efforts in support of new and existing trail systems throughout North Idaho. Current projects include right-of way acquisition of the UP Railroad line from the Centennial Trail at Riverstone north to Milepost 2.25 near Hwy 41, extension of the trail from Higgins Point east to eventually join the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, and a bypass route to avoid the dangerous intersection of Seltice Way and Hwy 41.
 
The Foundation’s work is funded entirely through memberships, donations and grants. We would like to invite you, the Trail user, to become a member and supporter of this beautiful asset to North Idaho community. Please consider becoming a financial supporter of your North Idaho Centennial Trail so that it will always remain an integral part of your community.
