Chipman Trail 

The Chipman Trail extends from Moscow, Idaho, to Pullman, and provides a safe path for joggers, bikers, and the like.

Outdoor life 

The Palouse Region also offers fishing, backpacking, skiing, camping, and biking. Its mountain ranges, the Blue Mountains, and the Wallowas, share the similar spires and majestic beauty of the Swiss Alps. We also have Lake Coeur d'Alene and Priest Lake, and the Columbia, Clearwater, Salmon and Snake rivers.

Congress has designated 46 miles of the Salmon River, from the North Fork to Corn Creek, recreational, and the other 79 miles, from Corn Creek to Long Tom Bar, wild.
