Canfield Trail System
9 reviews
4.78 of 5
There are more than 32 trail miles in this system with maps posted along the trails. Some trails are steep and have ruts, rocks, roots, and other obstacles. Others have loose rock or steep dropoffs along the edge. If you get a chance to ride this place trail 9 (Jump Trail) and 4 (Cave Trail) are fast single track down hill
Take Exit # 14 ( 15th Street )
Turn North on 15Th St and follow it 1.1 miles to Nettleton Gulch Road
Follow Nettleton Gulch Road 2.2 miles to the Nettleton Gulch Parking Area. ( Nettleton Gulch Road becomes Forest Road 1562 at the Forest Boundary )
Summary: I was visiting Coeur d'Alene this October, and I try to ride every where I go (assuming there's a mountain), so I rented a bike and headed out to Canfield (recommended by locals). Plenty of single-track... the trails were technical enough to be fun, but not so much to be dangerous (I was riding alone). The whoop-d-dos created by the motorbikes made the single-track even more interesting. The views of Cd'A and Hayden lakes from the Viewpoint were awesome and I was amazed by how clear the air was. A truly phenomenal ride!! And thanks to the guys at Vertical Earth for changing the brakes on my rental to "motorcycle style" and printing out a map.
Recommended Route: From the parking lot, I rode up Penn Trail (trail 8) to Penn Station, up trail 7, then up the fire road to the Viewpoint. I rode back down the same way I came up. I would have liked to explore more, but I was short on time. Next time...

Summary: I actually ride this mountain every day, not just once a week. My friends and I live for biking and ride the whole mountain every day!
Recommended Route: Take any, it's all good. Ride what you like. All skill levels.
Other recommended trails in the same area: 9th street jumps. Downtown, in the center of the ghetto!

Summary: Why ride with out a motor. that is what i can not figure out. But really i do both. Canfield started out an ORV park. always will be. there are many groups that keep matenience like Pantra who are avid moto trail riders. But there are tose few who will ruin it for all us dirt bikers. Just remember. Nto all of us are jerks. But when on canfield notice the signs. there is a yeild triangle. MT bikers hikers yeild to the motors. Because we cant hear you coming down the trail. I know we can all coexist Chris Lewis livetime resident
Recommended Route: face trail, straight up, then over to spades mountian. Down hells canyon trail and back up to chilco peak. Then down to the bunco to road 209, to horsehaven airstrip, then back up to spades mountian.
Other recommended trails in the same area: get a fernan district trail map from the forest service

Summary: I don't live in Coeur d'Alene any more, but I'm dieing to get back. Canfield Trails were my training grounds. I must say I've not been on better trail than these. There is so much to choose from. Anyone can really enjoy these trails. I like them so much, I almost hate myself for telling anyone else that they exist. You should really check this out!!!
Recommended Route: My favorite is to ride up the main road, to the lookout point. Then start down to "Jump Trail". At one point you can either turn right, to "Cave Trail", which rocks with single track, or turn left if you want some great rocks and drops. There will be a good climb first but the downhill is well worth it. If you follow this rout, it should take about 45 min. to reach the lookout point and about 20 min. to get back down to the parking area. Both trails will take you back to the parking area.

Summary: The trails range from novice beginer flat single track, to extreme downhill decents. There is enough of everything to keep everyone happy. South Eastern slope of the mountain has the steepest rockiest trails... only suitable for hardcore downhillers with the bikes to match. Many of the tamer trails offer fast single track that can be riden in either direction. Lots of speed can be had, and there is much to offer the technicle junkies as well. If you really want to know about this area send me an e-mail.
Recommended Route: 30+ miles of networked trails that all tie together at some point. Pick from many possible routes that all come back together eventually. Can't get lost, but unfamiliar riders might spend some time figuring out the system with the map provided at any local bike shop.
Other recommended trails in the same area: many many many to talk about, most known by locals only. hundreds of miles of interwoven trails and fire roads to ride.
