DESCRIPTION:
WE HAVE ADDED THE AREAS SHERIFF’S EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS FOR EACH TRIP WRITE UP UNDER THE RANGER DISTRICT INFO. IF AN EMERGENCY OCURRS, EVALUATE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES AND CALL ONLY IF NEEDED.The Q’emiln Park is noted for its outstanding climbing. There are several trails thru the climbing rocks, that eventually leads you to the new Community Forest 500+ acres. At one point, the trail follows the Spokane River just after the Post Falls Dam. It’s quit spectacular to see the river rage down thru a narrow gorge. This river side route leads you out onto the area west of the Avista Generating Station and on to the Community Forest. You can stay along the river for about 2.5 miles to the west end of the park.
From the south parking lot on W. Riverview Drive, the trail drops down a bit to where it splits and does a loop, back up to the W. Riverview lot.
Your best bet is to stop by the Post Falls City Fall on Spokane Street to pick up a map. Or https://www.postfallsidaho.org/departments/parks-recreation/parks/community-forest
