This state park is a great getaway from the daily hustle bustle, traffic, and noise. The views are absolutely stunning, the campground is decent, and the hike to the bridge and beyond is fun and moderate. The bridge is very beautiful and the view of Spokane river flowing underneath is just gorgeous. There is a mini hike to get under the bridge, where you can relax on the river rocks and enjoy another gorgeous view of the river upclose, and the landscape around it. The hike beyond the bridge is pretty flat, easy, and family friendly. Although I didnt see a lot of picturesque spots in the trail, its still worth the walk. The campground was ok ok, primarily as it lacked privacy - too many campsites close to each other, with little or no trees in between for privacy. Overall, its definitely worth visiting.

Nature is cool. We saw interesting rocks, wild mushrooms, and a golf ball. There were some fishermen there but they said you're not supposed to eat the fish because they're poison. Spokane never disappoints.

This is a gorgeous park! It’s well maintained. There are picnic tables, BBQ grills, campgrounds, restrooms and pet friendly. So many trails to walk your pet, ride your horse and cycling (traditional bikes and electric bikes). There’s so much beauty here. You simply have to pay a visit and check it out. You’ll be glad you did! 🤩

I went almost 5 miles but I also didnt stay on the main trail. This place is absolutely breathtaking taking and only a 15 - 20 minute drive from Spokane. The views are breathtaking as are the trails. I saw lots of people walking their dogs on leash as well as riding their bikes through the trails. Plenty of parking there is even a camp ground. Definitely a beautiful place to come explore. Discover Pass required.

Spokane is blessed with such a beautiful location minutes from town. The trails seem endless and one can navigate along the river edge for many miles in each direction. Every time I go I take a different trail and it never disappoints.
