Just 9 miles from Spokane, Washington, Riverside State Park is a delightful escape with a wide range of activities. Once a gathering place for Native Americans, it now spans over 9,000 acres along the Spokane and Little Spokane Rivers. In the warmer months, hikers and mountain bikers take advantage of 55 miles of trails, and the Little Spokane River is great for paddle sports. Note that pets are not allowed. In the winter the park draws snowshoers, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers.
