Mount Spokane State Park
An immense park surrounding the nearly 6,000-foot Mount Spokane, this state park is great for those who are willing to go a little rugged. Mount Spokane, famous for its massive bald spot, receives nearly 300 inches of snow a year, making it a challenging and potentially dangerous spot for year-round hikers. With roads often impassable, the full potential of the park is only available to the intrepid backwoods backpacker.
Conconully State Park
This park is perfect for those interested in water recreation. Alongside the Conconully Reservoir, this state park is not particularly rugged, but features 83 tent camping spots to accommodate plenty of visitors. Try your hand at swimming, kayaking and fishing, then drop in to the small town for dinner. It may not be the most rugged, but it's perfect for those looking for a relaxing weekend of tent camping.
