County Buildings, Parks, Fair & Expo Facilities and other Locations

The property contains 87 acres east of and adjacent to Liberty Lake Regional Park. If you've hiked or bikes the Liberty Lake Loop Trail and reached the cedar grove, you're here! This property was the first one acquired through the Spokane County Conservation Futures program in 1995.

The land exhibits a combination of flat, rolling hills to steep terrains. It also ranges from heavily timbered habitats to those that include thicker brush and lighter timber. Acquisition of this property preserves habitat for white-tailed deer, bear, elk, cougar, and native trout while protecting the Liberty Lake watershed area from urban development.

The Cedar Grove Conservation Area also includes 1,500 feet of Liberty Creek frontage. From some vantage points, it provides excellent views of Liberty Lake north toward Mount Spokane.
