Spokane County Environmental Services is restoring wetlands at Saltese Flats. Restored wetlands in that area will provide benefits in several ways including:
- Delaying runoff to recharge the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer to increase flow in the Spokane River during late summer months
- Restoring a diverse wildlife habitat
- Providing a community resource for public access and education
- Allowing for possible future application of Class A reclaimed water
The trails are all open for public access along with two parking lots: one on the west side and one on the northeast side. Trail markers are to be installed in the fall of 2021.
