Discover the natural splendor of Riverside State Park.

About

Western Washington might be more popular, but that doesn’t make the eastern side of the state any less fun. It just makes it a well kept secret, or a hidden gem. Case in point; Riverside State Park. Located a short ways outside Spokane and situated around the river with the same name, Riverside is pretty well rounded as far as state parks go. You can hike, fish, swim, white-water kayak, go off-roading, ride horses, snowshoe, snowmobile and even check pictographs left behind by people who thought this area was cool waaaaaayyyyyy before the first espresso was poured in Seattle. This place is beautiful, no doubt about that. The Spokane River cuts through evergreen forests that occasional thin for open countryside. Birds gather around freshwater marshes while bears and other wildlife roam the hilly terrain. There is no shortage of place
