A great ATV trail area close to Spokane, Washington, 7 Mile ORV Park is nearly 600 acres of fun. There are several different ways to get there, watch for signs that say "7 Mile ORV Park," but generally, if you're on I-90, take Maple Street exit North, to Francis, turn West (right hand turn) - staying on Francis, turn left where indicated by sign, travel about three miles and watch for sign, turn where indicated onto gravel road. Travel about one more mile-voila! You are there.
Most of the ATV areas will be open riding, but there are some ATV trails running through many treed areas, so be careful, trees are such jumping fools! First they're off to the side, watching, and the next thing you know, they're practically climbing into the ATV with you. There are also scattered sand hills, some of them quite large. A seasonal creek is a fun spot. The place is a multi use, multi skill level. If you're with a group make sure everyone is well acquainted with the average skill level of the group before taking off on an ATV climb. There is nothing worse than knowing an accident could have been prevented if only the ATV driver were up to the challenge. Take kids into consideration, too. The park has so many places for everyone, why not take advantage of the area and spend some time helping train your kids on developing good ATV habits in some of the more open, gentler trails. They will love their ATV experiences with you.
