Facilities

This 10-foot wide paved trail is enormously popular for walking, bicycling, hiking, and horseback riding and is accessible to persons of all levels of physical ability. The trail provides a safe alternative transportation route and currently connects Snohomish, Lake Stevens, Arlington, and points between. The linear park also serves as a conservation corridor protecting sensitive and important natural and cultural resources. Development of the trail began in 1989 during the state's centennial, hence the name, Centennial Trail. The trail now extends 23 miles. The trail is owned and operated by the Snohomish County, except where it passes through incorporated areas, such as the City of Arlington.
