Riverside State Park
- Park
- Regional draw
- Spokane
Riverside State Park protects extensive river and forest landscapes in the Spokane area, with different access points supporting varied outdoor outings.
Rock formations, moving water, and trails give each part of the park its own character rather than one single central attraction. Choosing a particular area makes the visit easier to plan and appreciate.
Select an official trailhead and route suited to your experience, then check current closures, permits, and conditions. Carry water, prepare for changing weather, and follow river-safety and wildlife guidance throughout the visit.
