Spokane Parks and Recreation has offered outdoor recreation since 1989. The programs serve Adults, Families, Singles, Youth, Teenagers and Private Groups. The Spokane area has numerous lakes, streams and rivers for exceptional canoeing, kayaking and rafting. The nearby mountains are home to wonderful ski resorts that host downhill and cross-country skiing along with many snowshoe trails. The Spokane hiking, biking and climbing areas are spectacular and the City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Program offer many activities in all of these categories.
Whether you choose to participate on your own or with friends, our snowshoe and cross-country skiing trips can provide a wonderful social outlet as Winter tries to keep you in the dark. Completing a loop on a local trail, learning new tips and tricks for skiing or snowshoeing, or trying something for the first time is an extremely rewarding experience. Spending time outside, having fun, makes you feel good right away. Furthermore, immersing yourself in a beautiful, snowy landscape creates a spiritual bond between you and the place, other people, and the sensations of the activity itself. These activities provide memories to look back on as you get back to your everyday life and you will be looking forward to going again and again.
