Centennial Falls
Centennial Falls stands as a testament to the unexpected natural beauty hidden within North Idaho’s landscape. This exquisite waterfall is characterized by its wide ledge, over which water cascades in a uniform veil, creating a stunning visual effect. The area around the falls is a lush amphitheater, nourished by natural seeps and springs that support a rich tapestry of moss and ferns. This environment is notably home to the endangered Coeur d’Alene Salamander, P. Idahoensis, making it a crucial habitat worth protecting with utmost care.
The Drive
Venturing deep into the Panhandle National Forest, visitors will find the well-marked trail #400 near Svee Creek, marking the beginning of the journey to this hidden gem.
The Hike
Centennial Falls is a rarity in North Idaho, not just for its beauty but for the unique ecological niche it occupies. Visitors are encouraged to respect this delicate environment.
The Falls
A brief hike into a seemingly unremarkable side tributary reveals the lush wonderland that houses Centennial Falls, inviting explorers into its serene embrace.
Don’t Forget
The moss and ferns that adorn the area are the result of decades, if not centuries, of undisturbed growth. Sharing locations of sensitive areas on social media risks their preservation.
Surrounding Area
The Coeur D’Alene Mountains, framing the backdrop for Centennial Falls, are a beacon for those seeking outdoor adventures amidst Idaho’s breathtaking landscapes. The journey to the falls is complemented by a variety of campgrounds nestled along the route, each offering unique opportunities for river activities, including fishing, kayaking, and leisurely floats. The rich tapestry of the Panhandle National Forest is accessible through the communities of Wallace and Kellogg. These towns offer visitors a chance to dive into the area’s mining heritage, taste local cuisine, and experience the warmth of Idaho hospitality.
Nearby Attractions
The Coeur D’Alene River meanders through the dense forests, offering idyllic spots for RV camping and extended stays in Idaho’s wilderness. Wallace, with its rich mining history, invites visitors on guided tours into the heart of the mountains to uncover the stories of Idaho’s silver rush era. For those seeking thrills, Kellogg’s Silver Mountain Resort presents North America’s longest gondola ride, ascending to a world of alpine activities. In summer, the resort transforms into a haven for hikers and mountain bikers, while winter months offer some of the best skiing in the region.
