Description
This naturally forested area contains approximately 2 miles of Spokane River frontage, hiking, mountain biking trails, native trees and shrubs, wildlife, and amazing granite cliffs and rock outcroppings. This area is currently open for non-motorized public recreation. It can be accessed by entering the trailhead located in Q'emiln Park. Development of a trailhead and comfort facilities along West Riverview Drive are also planned to allow for convenient public access at the southern border of the Community Forest. Future development of reclaimed water facilities may result in temporary closures of affected areas for public safety during projects.
