Antoine Peak Conservation Area
Description
The largest Conservation Futures acquisition to date, Antoine Peak consists of 1,066 acres of mountainous terrain on the northern edge of Spokane Valley. This conservation area was acquired in three "phases" between 2007-2011, with 50% of the acquisition costs being funded through Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grants.
With 360-degree views from its 3,373-foot summit, Antoine Peak Conservation Area provides unique recreational opportunities, protects critical habitat for the region’s large mammals, and preserves a critical wildlife corridor that connects the Spokane River Valley with Mount Spokane State Park.
A small trailhead currently provides limited parking on the east side of Antoine Peak (Lincoln Road). Please park in a manner that allows other users (including trailers) to park safely.
