The equestrian trails are primarily dirt, single track, and two track trails. Because they vary in difficulty it is an excellent location to get new experiences for you and your horse.  Hoof protection is highly recommended because of the varied terrain.  The trails will consist of some elevation change, short and sweet technical sections, and lots of nice footing two-track and single-track trails to really stretch your horses legs. The trails will meander along the river, through the center of the park, and to the outskirts where you can see beautiful horizon views of the river and parts of Spokane. 

 

There will be no water crossing in the fall and water troughs will be approximately every 5 miles along the loops.

The park has a little bit of everything, river views, open meadow, forest trees, wildlife, wildflowers, and the paved Centennial Trail which traverses through the majority of the park south of the Spokane River.

​

The park came into being with various gifts of land in 1933 and 1934. It was developed by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Evidence of the CCC's work can be seen at the Bowl and Pitcher area's suspension bridge, kitchen shelter, restroom, park residence, office, and maintenance shop. CCC workers also constructed the rock walls and much of the roadway of Aubrey White Parkway, the restroom on the Centennial Trail near the Carlson Trailhead, and various trails in the park.
