History
The Myrtle Point Natural Area site is located in the Spokane Valley, along the south bank of the Spokane River.
To the north of the park is the Spokane River, Plantes Ferry Regional Park and primarily vacant undeveloped land
while south of the site is an industrial area. The Myrtle Point property is a 40 acre flat natural area purchased to
carry the Centennial Trail across the Spokane River. A bridge was constructed to form a vital link in the trail by
connecting the north and south trail sections along the riverbanks. The Centennial Trail, running through the
entire length of the property, is the only access to this site. There are no plans in the near future to make
improvements to this property.
