Episode Details

Riverside State Park is fully shut down as wildfires rage through the area, forcing closures of trails, camping, and access to key zones like Bowl and Pitcher and the Little Spokane Natural Area. Over 1,500 acres have burned, leaving behind a dangerous landscape of downed and compromised trees that require massive hazard removal efforts — especially along roadways and trails. With past fires already taking years to recover from, this blaze promises an even longer, more complex cleanup. Officials warn of unstable root systems and potential tree falls, while firefighting equipment has also damaged trails. The park’s recovery path is long, with camping cancellations possibly extending beyond August 17th.
