New Walking Route Maps Available

Looking for great places to walk, run or hike in Spokane County? The Spokane Regional Health District just finished a project with the National Park Service to create some fantastic walking maps.

There are neighborhood maps of great walking communities like Cheney and North Spokane in the Holmberg Park area, but also scenic and historic walk routes through Riverfront Park, Riverside State Park, Medical Lake and in the Little Spokane River area. And the maps tell you how strenuous of a walk or hike each route is. All the maps are free to download and print.

There are also links to more parks, trails and county parks posted. So, with the weather improving, you don't have any excuse not to get out and walk the dog or take a run.

We'll even give you the link to register. Here's a link to the site.
