How have I lived here 6 years and missed this treasure! My beautiful fiance was born and raised here, she didnt even know it was here. THIS is a must see city park. Yes, there are a few bugs. Yes, if you walk the creek youll get muddy feet. BUT what an amazing, delightful, and beautiful park. There are trails everywhere, adventure and enjoy. If a trail into the canyon is to steep, walk down the main trail a little more and youll likely find an easier way. Thank you to all of you that carry out what you bring in. Thank you also to all you respectful dog owners who leash and pick up after your furry friend. The majority of the park was clean, neat and natural. Oh oh, except for the moose droppings, the moose obviously have not been picking up after themselves (but Ive come to expect that of moose).

I am born and raised here in Spokane. 1st of all Ive never heard of this secret oasis! 2ed of all this is the most beautiful place Ive ever seen right here in Spokane! Truly worth it. It is very steep path so dont try in candles.

Beautiful and quiet! The walk down to the waterfall wasnt very far, about .5 mi. But there are also other small trails throughout the entire park. They are worth checking out. Plus a creek runs through it all.

Absolutely amazing we put the flag by the falls

Nice little hike. Not super long but definitely were tennis shoes. Beautiful in the fall

Such a beautiful place!! So many hikes to go to different places and scenes. The hike to the falls were alittle on the muddy side but had rocks to hop across on. The kids had a blast and the falls were so pretty and alot of fun for our family. Kids hiked really good ages 6 and 5 and wanted to keep going. Highly recommend for everyone.

After the split, stay on your right and keep a close eye out for a hidden path. Super easy to miss.

Love all the little trails that go down into the canyon and the stream is so peaceful with the sound it makes and the waterfall was pretty neat. Definitely go here

Such a nice peaceful nature walk. The main trail isnt so bad either. Nice and clear.

It was a great hike for the family. We hiked down to the creek and back up the creek to a BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I recommend bringing a lunch and relaxing at the waterfall. It was awesome!!

Fairly easy to get fun hike for a family very dog friendly. Lots of easy trails some a bit more or a trek

Beautiful area to hike. Sometimes there’s a bit of mosquitos or other bugs so definitely wear some bug spray. Trails down to the waterfall can be easy to miss if you’ve never been. Very steep in some places.

This hike was very fun, if a bit more people than I would have wanted. We went on a Sunday and the area was very busy. Be prepared to have to wait for people to finish their selfies. I would also strongly suggest using some bug repellent. Due to the water there are a lot of mosquitoes. There are several steep areas both on the way down and back up. If you arent wanting a strenuous hike you could always explore up above. There was a lot of pretty scenery without having to go down. Over all I would say this hike is very worthwhile.

Really nice trails, lots of little trails going of the main path. Spend a few hours just walking around. My wife and our kids loved it as did i

Paths are unmarked so, you need to locate the falls on your own, the stream unfortunately was just a bit more than a trickle. other than that, beautiful spot.

Great place for short hike and relax. The waterfall is small but well worth it. You can go all the way down it is short hike

Easy access from the road but difficult to figure out how to drop down to the canyon lots of winding trails to explore

Sooo cute! So many creeks and pathways, waterfalls! Sooo gorgeous out there!

Great trails! Some of them are kinda steep! Be cautious if you bring kids! Endless amounts of trails to explore!

Great place to take the kids hiking. Great views as well.

You must hike here. Pretty easy hike. Bring bug spray.

Rough trails in early spring (muddy), but did it with five kids (youngest was 3). The falls is amazing and totally worth the hike in!!

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been and its 15 minutes from our house. We could spend hours down there!!!

Nice short walk to see the top of the falls. Be careful, the drop to the bottom is pretty far!The trail down to the bottom of the falls was steep but not overly difficult. It would be slippery after any rain.Bring mosquito repellent. Be careful with little kids!Theres a small cave to look in also! Fun place to explore

Easy trail if you dont mind wet feet, gorgeous scenery. A bit hard to avoid others as it is popular with locals and kids.

Had a time, would not reccomend driving down the trail tho, not a campsite not a drive thru, very active with hikers in the morning.

Crowded with kids and dogs, easy hike but mostly on unmarked side trails. Neat little cave to the right of the falls but all the deeper nooks are stuffed with garbage and beer cans.

Falls were only a trickle in late September 2020. Not much rain lately.

Great little hike. Parking was convenient. Had a picnic and walked the dog. Enjoy!

Love coming here. Its beautiful and not very hard trail.

I hiked Indian Canyon Falls on 3/10/18. It was beautiful and totally worth it. This place is a hidden gem less than 10 minutes from downtown Spokane.This makes a great winter/spring hike. In the winter the waterfall freezes over and in the spring the stream flow is high. In the summer the waterfall is just a trickle.Make sure you wear shoes/boots with great traction in the spring, as there was still ice on many of the trails. Also, be careful not to walk through soft areas, especially on slopes, as this can destroy the trails.You have to cross the stream a few times, but there are plenty of rocks/logs to keep you dry.Make sure to drive or hike up to the top of Palisades Park to take in the almost 360 degree views of downtown.

Went there with my grandkids and two of my daughters for the first time it was awesome took lots of pics there are tons of trails it was beautiful

Great local treasure. Well worth the short, but steep hike into this little canyon. Kids love it especially when you hike downstream through the canyon.

Was a really tough trail we we was on.

Fun easy trails. Getting down to the waterfall was steep, but doable. My 3 year old twins handled it really well. I definitely had to help them a little, but overall they did it and had a blast! Id say altogether it was a half mile give or take to get to the waterfall. This was taken at the end of summer, but Ive heard the waterfall is spectacular in the spring!

Beautiful hike! Dont take the shortcut if you have little kids with you, muddy and you have to cross a stream. Bug repellent is a must or youll get eaten by mosquitos!

Quick access to environment. Great walk/hike. A tranquility, if I could suggest.

Beautiful area and a short easy hike. Not easy for strollers or young kids as the trails are primitive going down towards the water but the upper loop is easy for various people.

Pretty amazing area cozy and fun to hike around tha hills in tha area of indian canyon the waterfalls is the most calm and serene lil place to relax and just get away

Such a nice hike. I highly recommend this trail.

Great area for easy hikes. Bring bug spray. There are a lot of mosquitos in the ravine on the way down to the base of the falls.

The waterfall is close walk from the road. Parking is very limited (maybe 5 spots). Beautiful place to meditate and hike light to moderate trails. Magical in all seasons, but check it out in winter (itll be a icy crystal wonderment).

For one, this is a beautiful place to hike. At this time there are lots of bloodsucking soulless sqitters, but other than that its quite worth it with plenty of bug spray for which me and my wife didnt have. Take trail 121. It is a loop that will take you to the fall next to a small cave. I will say for the trail kinda got hard to find here and there, JUST FOLLOW THE WATER. in 3 areas we had to cross the stream with minimal difficulty. People have placed rocks and lots if fallen tree pieces to give you a slight walk way. Totally worth the effort!

This place is a great spot to get away for an hour or so. You can get around the whole gorge in that time. Be sure to get down to the base of the falls and look in the caves! Cool Spot!!!

Such an unexpected adventure! Great hiking trails with the dogs!

Caution! What everyone fails to mention are the extremely treacherous paths down the canyon to the waterfall. Steep. Steep. Steep.

Such a beautiful area! The little caves are pretty cool and of course the waterfall is awesome..

Good: cant really get lost. Bad: trails are a bit overgrown, and you run the risk of interacting negatively with Spokanes transient criminal underground (camps and trash).

Love this place little small for big adventures but it has such a great nostalgic vibe. Cool little waterfall with a cave and decent hiking trails definitely good spot to check out with some friends or signficant other.

Its beautiful

Sweet little Trail going through some Woods typical Pacific Northwest stuff if youre from California and you want to get some Pacific Northwest kind of deals got a little creek its got Springs coming out its a little Indian K theyre pretty cool and thats pretty much deal one of the only things that they have to do in that boring City and people are to either standoffish or ignorant or scared mute that you didnt strike up a conversation to give you some information about where theres other parts and other nice areas but all the parts in Spokane or garbage in Sacramento

Gorgeous and short hike south of palisades park. Multiple routes to the top and bottom of the falls. The trail following the creek can get tricky but is fun. The other trails are very easy and still give great views. Will be back to adventure here

Great little trails! Lots to explore!! Hidden gem!

No real directions but also pretty enough to pass time like crazy. Peaceful and side tails.

Beautiful little area minutes from downtown. Bring bug repellent if youre frequently bit, the mosquitoes are often thick. The falls dry up to a trickle quickly in the summer months. Good chances of muddy feet and bring your balancing act as there are areas youll need to cross the stream on small logs and rocks.

Beautiful little spot with a short hike

Nice trails, awesome waterfall! Lots of broken glass though =(

Very worth the hike! Easy access from road. Steep climb if you fo straight down to falls but if you follow trail down stream and come back that way to falls, beautiful hike along stream. Lived here my whole life, didnt know it was there!

Once you get down the trail you end up at this beautiful waterfall. If you have small children it can get a little tricky. The trail is really narrow with not much room in some spots. But you have about 3 options on getting down. Well worth it though!

Nice place to hang out and have lunch. Many trails to walk. Some trails are tough and some are pretty easy. Will be going back again soon

Great hike beautiful views

Beutifull, beutifull... great walk as long as your legs are ok .

Its a nice hike, but water isnt always there in the waterfall

Beautiful park! Easy trails that lead all over the place. Spent a good couple hours exploring the area and sitting near the falls. Good date hike. Great for the casual hiker.

Took me a bit to find the safe trail down but it felt very serene in the grotto

Fun little hike to base of falls. could be signed better. Free because city park. sparce parking area

Wasnt raging or nothing for my first time so kinda meh bring a jacket

Beautiful, the walk to get there was fun too. The trails have a couple of thin passways which make it scary for a big person so just be careful. At the end of trail right next to the waterfall, there is a couple (man and woman) with a dog on a short leash who wants to attack anything that comes close to their campsite so we as tourists couldnt get close to the waterfall. Thats why I gave it 3 stars. Tweekers are camping at many of the Washington historic sites and trashing the area so remember to always be on the lookout for them and needles, sad to say but that is the reality for now.

Beautiful place to go :)

Beautiful place

Too muddy to go down but peaceful and beautiful

Beautiful hike and waterfall minutes from Spokane. There are a couple ways to get to it. Either you can park about half way up Greenwood by the two closed gates on the left side of the road (not in front of the gates that is a fire lane, just park on the side of the road) and hike up to the the waterfall or you can drive up next to Indian Canyon golf course and there will be a little parking lot on the left that is a less than. 5 mile hike down to the waterfall. It really is make your own adventure to get down to the water fall which is best done from the west side. There are some very steep trails and some easier trails down, you are hiking into a deep canyon but it is very worth it.

Cant get much more beauty when surrounded by a bustling city.

Nice easy walk to look at the falls from above. Had some trails down to the falls but I didnt try them. Walked further down to the river. Easy trails to walk and more difficult ones

Though not as big as the Spokane falls it is definitely worth the trip. Not far from eye 90. Easy walking park.

Cool little hike

Its relative. If you want a quick hike 10 minutes from downtown punctuated by a nice waterfall, this is it. The falls can be seen from a distance or you can hike down a steep embankment to get a closer look. The trails are obvious but study the trailhead maps. Always take water even on a modest hike like this one in case you get lost in conversation - guilty - and lost in the woods. Good for dogs & children with some control over both.

Its so beautiful

Please bring a bag for your dog waste. Hard to walk on trail and avoid the piles, and there is pretty scenery to view.

This park is so pretty. Nice walks in the trees listening to the falls. Steep hike down to the bottom of the falls but there’s a little cove type thing down there that’s pretty cool. I love walking around this park.

Beautiful little hike to a waterfall. Very rewarding on a hot day because its nice and cool when you hit the waterfall. Ive seen plenty of dogs and kids around the age of 5 on this hike so its fairly easy, but can be muddy!

Was a fun walk. Water fall was cold and refreshing

Beautiful walk

Nice little hike down along the creek will bring you to the falls. Near Palisades Park it is pretty easily accessible and a fun hike for people of all ages in the warmer seasons. Need to be relatively cautious during the Winter months as the trails may be slick.

Many beautiful colors on the rocks. We went on Sunday and there were lots of people there. The trail in the canyon is still very muddy.

Lovely scenery and greenery

Cool, but not much H2O during this time...

This was fun to find and the trail wasnt too hard to manage with my 2 and 5 year old.

Liked it. Would love to see it in the Spring!

Was a grate hike a little bit challenging in some spots but way cool.

Beautiful place. We loved it.

Mystic beauty.

Somehow even better in the winter

I was very disappointed, the trails are wonderful, really, but the falls themselves have excessive littering. People had clearly been smoking there, wrappers, etc. I hope it isnt always like this, if I visit again and find it different I will change this! I should have taken a picture :/

Absolutely beautiful in the spring and fall. Still nice year round. A short hike for beginners.

Wonderful adventure to find the falls. A treasure once found.

One of my fams fav hikes in Spokane! It is so beautiful and perfect!

Nice hike. CleanNo garbage.

A great hike and beautiful waterfall. A cave to explore and plenty of trails!!

Bring your kids! Great easy trails.
