Rail to Trail

When old railway lines are no longer being used to transport goods, they’re often converted into the perfect bike paths. Long, slowly turning, and generally flat, Idaho’s old railway lines are now some of the best bike paths in the country. The Centennial Trail snakes along almost 100 miles, from the waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene to the prairie grass of Post Falls. Another favorite, the famous Route of the Hiawatha is an easy, slightly downhill, 15 mile packed surface trail with ten tunnels and seven sky high trestles that the whole family will love.
