Beacon Hill is one of the last undeveloped ridge line in the Spokane Area. It is an incredible piece of open space, valued for its views, character, proximity to Spokane neighborhoods, and great trail system. Beacon is also a conglomerate of properties: city parks, conservation land, utilities and private property. The trail system is heavily used and well known, yet at the same time not formally recognized as a community recreation resource. Our goal is to bring this trail system above board, recognize it, and preserve it to complement new development in the area.
A multi-trail network that will encourage trail users from all around the region to visit is envisioned. When complete, the project will connect John Shields Park (Minnehaha Rocks), Camp Sekani and the Centennial Trail. It will formally recognize an existing twenty miles of trails, as well as create an estimated ten miles of news trails.
