    High water flow from the South Channel of the Post Falls Dam.

    Old Wagon Loop – Post Falls, Idaho

    0
    By Nspire Magazine on September 14, 2020 Idaho

    Closest city to the trailhead:
    Post Falls, Idaho

    Average distance of hike:
    3.0 miles

    The northeast portion of the trail offers views of the Spokane River below the South Channel Dam.

    Why do you recommend it?
    The vast system of trails allows you to take a different route most every time, if you so desire. You can make it a quick, short hike or a nice 3-4 miler. Just across the Spokane River from Post Falls makes it fast and easy to get to.

    What was most noteworthy?
    A wide variety of terrain offers something for everyone. The trail includes a canyon area (where you will see rock climbers) as well as gentle hills and meadows. Spokane River views are nice especially when the dam is open and the water is rushing strong.


    Story continues after a quick message from our sponsor below.


    Are there restrooms?
    Yes

    Know before you go:
    The trails are marked by colors. If you haven’t been there much, it is fairly easy to get off of the trail of the color you wanted to be on. It’s not really a big deal though as none of the trails a too long and it’s not hard to find your way back.

    Where to celebrate after?
    Post Falls Brewing

    How do you get there?
    Take I-90 to Post Falls to the Spo-kane Street. exit. From there, go south across the river and then take a right on Parkway Drive. You have entered Q’emiln Park. Trail maps are at each trail entrance.

    Special Touches for 'Forever Home'

"Because the homeowners love to cook, they requested a spacious kitchen. It features light-colored cabinets with granite countertops plus toe-kick lighting. It is also easy to access the butler’s pantry that includes darker, ebony-toned cabinets as well as an illuminated storage area to show off an impressive liquor and stemware collection."

    A Hidden Gem-In North Central Washington

"Similar to Coeur d’Alene Lake, Lake Chelan has approximately 110 miles of shoreline. It is roughly 50 miles long and, on average, over a mile wide. Interestingly, it is the third-deepest natural lake in the country behind Lake Tahoe and Crater Lake. In fact, the lake reaches a depth of 400 feet below sea level!"

    The Whistler Trail
.
"One of the first things to attract attention is a large arched window on the iconic stairwell projection, adjacent to the front door. It’s wrapped in stained shake and is designed to catch the eye and draw it upward. The entryway includes stone and wood pillars and a sitting area on the front porch. The landscaping also complements the natural tones."
