Centennial Park

Info

Go for a walk through Centennial Park or just relax on one of the benches and admire the many different species of trees. Cross the Main Street bridge towards Voght Park and let the dogs roam free in the fenced off-leash area, and then venture down the 2.1 KM Coldwater River Trail towards Claybanks RV Park.  While this trail was impacted by the flood, the current gravel path is an enjoyable venture.
