Coeur d’Alene, Idaho · Up to 2 miles return · Paved shared-use main trail; road sections excluded
Start: Riverstone Park public off-street lot, 1805 Tilford Lane, Coeur d’Alene, ID. City identifies off-street public park parking off Beebe / Tilford. Walk the park’s bicycle-path connection toward the river and signed Centennial Trail, near its Riverstone / Prairie junction. Do not substitute neighboring business lots or assume event parking terms apply every day.
Ride: On the signed main Centennial Trail head west toward the Atlas / Post Falls direction, staying on the solid shared-use paved route shown on the foundation map. Turn at one outward mile or before the first roadway, painted bike lane, uncertain junction, barrier or uncomfortable slope; retrace to the park connection. Do not head downtown, close a river loop, or add Prairie Trail mileage.
Distance: Chosen two-mile maximum return. Foundation’s 23-mile corridor includes road sections. This short Riverstone reach stays on the shared-use pavement; parking walking is extra.
Permission and effort: City designates cycling on the paved trail; official state tourism’s September 2026 firsthand account identifies Riverstone as a trail access point. September 2026 state tourism describes the corridor as mostly flat, while warning that the full route includes road riding. This bounded reach remains subject to ramps and local rises; turn before anything uncomfortable.
Planning: Choose daylight and posted park access; the foundation’s 2022 head schedule was 6:30 a.m.–dusk March 15–November 15 and is not a fresh gate guarantee. No current ordinary parking or trail tariff established; posted public-lot terms govern. City / foundation trail limit 15 mph; yield to pedestrians and all crossing traffic, keep pets leashed and remain on trail. Check local electric-bicycle rules separately.
Access reviewed October 20, 2026 Central (October 21 UTC): Current city park profile retains public parking and bicycle paths. Foundation still links the 2022 map; its listed May, August and September 2026 events are past, not current closures. September firsthand tourism corroborates use but does not inspect today’s parking, works or pavement. No road bypass is offered.
Bring water and choose suitable weather. Parking walking is extra. No surveyed parking-space pin or navigable GPX is supplied.
