Riverside Park Reopens After Fire Closure | Spokane News

Riverside State Park is reopening two beloved spots—the Bowl and Pitcher and the Equestrian area—after nearly four weeks of closure due to the Spokane Complex fires. Campgrounds are back online for booking, and the Centennial Trail between the Equestrian area and TJ Meenach Bridge is open again. Though these zones weren’t directly hit by flames, their proximity to the fire zone prompted the shutdown for safety. Still, some trails remain closed: west of the Bowl and Pitcher bridge, and from the Equestrian area into burned zones. The stretch between Equestrian and Seven Mile Road, plus the Little Spokane Natural Area, stay shut down—they suffered major damage and won’t reopen soon. Crews are already assessing trails, finding bulldozers used to create fire breaks destroyed parts of paths; they’re waiting for rain before rebuilding can begin.
