Parks and Recreational Sites

Parks in and around the Palouse

While Palouse Country brings to mind images of rolling wheat fields, there is much more to experience. National forests, wilderness areas, clear lakes, whitewater rivers and rugged canyons can be found. Raft down the Snake River one day and hike up to Kamiak Butte the next. If you like blue skies, warm sunshine and beautiful scenery, you'll love the recreational opportunities that can be found anywhere from ten minutes to an hour's drive from Pullman and Moscow.
