WHAT TO DO
Hiking
Five crushed rock based trails interconnect around the Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve. Trails vary from half a mile to just over three miles in length. Four of the trails are multi-use. The Canyon Trail is open to foot traffic only and is accessed via the Badger Mountain Trailhead next to Trailhead Park. Visit the Friends of Badger Mountain trail page for detailed maps, descriptions, and rules.
Mountain Biking
Four crushed rock based trails interconnect around Badger Mountain Centennial Preserve. These trails are meant for leisure riding to enjoy big views and nature, not for high speed downhill racing. Please respect the “No Skid” signs. Visit the Friends of Badger Mountain trail page for detailed maps, descriptions, and rules.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WHEN TO GO
The trails are open year round; however, they are not maintained in winter. True to eastern Washington and the Columbia Basin geology, expect full sun exposure in the summer.
