Little Spokane River Natural Area

Description

1,993 acres of river, wetlands, and mixed forest.

Other features:

Painted rocks. Two different well maintained hiking trails with different levels of difficulty. Got hit by a fire in 2015 so there's not a lot of shade on the trails but a lot of new growth.
