Confirmed from Q'emiln Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Big park with rock climbing, swimming & boating, 40 acres of trails & sporting & picnic areas.
What runners say about Q'emiln Park
“So pretty, clean restrooms in the main park, covered picnic areas and gazebos with electrical outlets to charge phones or whatever.”
“It’s beautiful and close to the restrooms, playground and surrounded by beautiful trees.”
“Although the majority of the trails are easy to navigate there are some areas where someone with physical limitations could get in trouble and would need 911 resue and help.”
Awesome park.. So much to do hike, swim, picnic, rock climbing, spent last weekend at lantern festival and it was amazing. Beautiful to see them floating on the water. Really good family event. Public Bathrooms that are open and clean. Best public swimming in Post Falls.
The most gorgeous park ever! I love it there! It's a little haven right downtown. There's so many walking trails, the river, the dam, the beach, places to rock climb, large grassy areas, benches, volleyball, lots of places to barbeque, the docks, the mossy rocks, all the flowers and breathtaking scenery...
Beautiful hiking trails whether you’re looking to see wildlife or get some exercise. Trails are marked well and the path is cleared and well kept.
Another spectacular effort by the folks managing the parks in this area! For something that notes itself as a small park, the experience is expensive and grand! The opportunities here are varied levels of difficulty and skill. However, each experience is emersive and enjoyable.
