Volunteers upgrade Knothead Trail in Riverside State Park
TRAILS -- A popular trail to an overlook near the confluence of the Spokane and Little Spokane rivers got more TLC last weekend.
Volunteers organized by the Washington Trails Association put in 280 hours of effort that included building a spur to an outcropping viewpoint, reports Cherie Gwinn, Riverside State Park program specialist.
Trailheads for the 6.4-mile loop route are at Indian Painted Rocks as well as just off SR291 north of Nine Mile Falls near the Spokane House.
The route is detailed in Day Hiking Eastern Washington, Hike #84.
Last year, nearly 100 volunteers worked on the trail near the Little Spokane River on June 1 for a National Trails Day event sponsored by REI and WTA.
