About McCroskey State Park

Officially Mary Minerva McCroskey State Park, this recreation area covers about 5,300 acres along a ridge in the Palouse region near the Washington border. Its main route, Skyline Drive, is a gravel road about 17 miles long that most vehicles can travel. Visitors find cedar forests, open ponderosa stands, and native Palouse Prairie. Four campgrounds, trails for hiking, biking, horses, and motorbikes, and interpretive signs are available. Facilities are basic: vault toilets, seasonal water, no garbage service, and no visitor center.
