Spokane Riverkeeper (map)

Join Spokane Riverkeeper and 350 Spokane for an easy, educational, 7-mile roll on the Centennial Trail in Spokane! Bring your bike, roller skates, scooter, or other human-powered wheels to join us as we roll along the Spokane River, west from No-Li Brewing parking lot, through Riverfront Park, over the Falls and to the Hangman Creek Overlook then returning to No-Li before 3:30pm. A fun, leisurely ride (5-10 mph) and a chance to see the river through new eyes, looking into its past, present, and future.

We will make a few stops to point out climate change’s growing impacts on the river, its habitats and its people. Following the ride, we will have a social happy hour at No-Li! Participation in the ride is not required to join the Happy Hour.

Note: route may change without notice but will generally remain in this same area, along the river.

Who: Anyone with a set of wheels to ride! We welcome all ages to join us for this family-friendly ride, on bikes, roller skates, or any human-powered wheels!
